This memorial was dedicated in 1972 to the memory of the First and Second World Wars. It was designed by Fire Chief Aubrey Creed, who based the design off of the Bronze Star award he received from the Unites States for his valour in the Italian campaign of the Second World War. In 2013, the District of Kitimat and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 250 added new plaques to the cenotaph as part of a beautification project.

WAS DEAR TO THEM, ENDURED HARDSHIP, FACED DANGER
AND FINALLY PASSED OUT OF SIGHT OF MEN BY THE

The Victoria Canadian Pacific Railway Great War Tablet was dedicated in the Steamship office on April 28, 1922. It was relocated to the Royal British Columbia Museum. 

To honour those who served and gave their lives during the Great War, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) erected a series of bronze memorial tablets in over twenty select locations along their railway system and offices in Canada, United States, England and China. The tablet depicts Britannia, the national personification of Britain, as a helmeted female warrior with a lion to her right and a shield at her feet, HMS Lion (Admiral Beatty's flagship during the Battle of Jutland) with airplanes above and a tank in front, Canadian Pacific Steamship RMS Empress of Russia (used during the war as an armed merchant cruiser and transport ship), Canadian troops, and a CPR locomotive in a nod to all those who travelled by train across Canada before heading overseas. The plaque was designed by Archibald Pearce, Chief Engineer's Department, Montreal, with its model and casting by the Bromsgrove Guild at Worcester, England.
