British Columbia

44 Field Engineer Squadron of Trail, BC constructed a bridge over Cottonwood Creek at Nelson, BC and named it for Major Angus-Ward Davis. Maj Davis was the first Commanding Officer of Number 3 Tunnelling Company Canadian of the Expeditionary Force during the First World War. A noted mining engineer in civilian life, Major Davis joined the Canadian Engineers as a sapper in August 1914 and proceeded to France where he was later commissioned a Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers. In 1915 he returned to the Canadian Engineers to command Number 3 Tunnelling Company. Receiving a Distinguished Service Order and several Mentions in Despatches for his work during the war, Major Davis went on to be chief engineer at several mines in British Columbia after the war. The 90 foot Bailey Bridge is associated with the Trans Canada Trail and was officially opened and dedicated to Major Davis in September 2001 by his son and two daughters.

This memorial is dedicated to those who fought in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.

Constructed in 1924 in memory of those killed in action 1914-1918 and 1939-1945 from Greenwood and district. As Phoenix is over 4,000' in elevation and, for many years, not accessible on November 11th, a bronze plaque bearing the same names as the Phoenix Cenotaph (Memorial #59033-025) was mounted on the Cenotaph at Kettle Valley. Phoenix is a mining ghost town and only a Cenotaph and graveyard remain.

Mr. Paul Lautard from the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 155, built an indoor cenotaph of plywood which has all the names as on the Kettle Valley Cenotaph and is in the same shape. It has an 18 foot flag pole and flag. He takes it to the Legion Hall in Greenwood each November 11. It is appreciated by the aging veterans that cannot tolerate the cold and wind at Kettle Valley Cenotaph.

The Procter War Memorial was constructed in memory of the District men killed overseas in the First and Second World Wars.

This memorial is dedicated to Colonel Kemball. It was erected by the men of the 54th Battalion.

In 1921 a Cenotaph was built of granite from Ymir, a memorial to those who gave their lives in the Great War. The site for the Cenotaph was the intersection of Broadway Street and Slocan Avenue (now renamed 4th Avenue). It was dedicated in 1922 by Rev. F. Ramsey of St. Mark’s Church, attended by President W. Waterfield of G.W.V.A. In 1963, the Cenotaph was moved to an area overlooking the beautiful Arrow Lakes, where it was fenced and a lawn planted. It is a great asset to the community.

Now located in the Nakusp Recreation Park, at the corner of Broadway and 8th. Memorial also includes dates for World War II and names of the dead.

Constructed in 1948 in memory of the Veterans of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. Located in front of the Oliver Town Hall, this stone monument was built by members of the South Okanagan Land Project. The metal plaque honouring the veterans was supplied by Branch #97 of the Royal Canadian Legion. The metal plaque lists the names of First World War veterans and 25 Second World War veterans. In 1995, a plaque was added in memory of those who died in the Korean War.

Erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 155, this memorial was unveiled on Sep 2009. This Cairn was dedicated to the fallen in World War I and World War II, the Korea War and to the Peacekeepers.

The Silverton Memorial Hall was built in 1919 in remembrance of those who died in the First World War. All labour was donated by local residents. Material for the building may have been purchased by fund raising events and/or donated by local sawmills and merchants or both.

On the front of the hall is a marble plaque, donated by the people of the Village of Silverton, in memory of 46 young men of the Slocan Valley who sacrificed their lives in the First World War from Appledale, Slocan City, Sandon, Silverton, New Denver, Nakusp and Edgewood.

This memorial to the local residents who served during the Second World War was constructed by Paul Lautard in May 1991. A bronze plaque is affixed to the twenty-eight ton granite boulder and bears the names of those who volunteered in the war. The memorial is located a little more than two kilometres off Highway 33 on Blythe-Rhone Road. The settlement of Rhone was named after the early settlers who came from the Rhone Valley in France. The population of Rhone has remained around 40 people since as far back as the Second World War. There are planted flowers which surround the monument and it is a popular stopover for cyclists passing through.
