Major Charles Hoey Victory Cross Memorial Park, British Columbia was constructed in 1921 in memory of all those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars and Korean War. This monument is the venue for services commemorating the "Battle of the Atlantic", the "Burma Campaign", the "Battle of Britain" and Remembrance Day, November 11. The memorial takes the form of a plain cross. Unveiled on Armistice Day in 1921, it was financed by public subscription and maintained by the City of Duncan. Of the 1066 people from the Cowichan River Valley who joined the Armed Forces in World War I, close to 170 people gave their lives during the war or died because of war-related causes. World War II added seventy-plus names to the list. After World War I, the residents of Duncan joined thousands of Canadian communities who built War memorials. Many people mistakenly believe these memorials glorify war and martial values. They were, rather, an attempt to make some sense, on emotional and spiritual levels, of the death of so many friends, loved ones and comrades.

1914-18 War took its toll at Cowichan Station at the start of the war. There had been a tremendous serge of patriotic fervour. The almost tranquil east window depicting the moment after crucifixion, was designed and made in London, as memorial to the thirteen men who gave their lives in that conflict. As a thank offering for peace, a new bell was donated and the bell tower constructed. Meanwhile Captain A. Lane presented the base and stem of the lectern Rescued from the shelled ruins of Ypres Cathedral in Belgium, and the Rector, Rev. F.L. Stephenson, who had also gone to the war, the fragments of stained glass from a bombed church in Rheims, France, which are incorporated in the windows to the north and south side of the nave. This memorial is dedicated to Doris H.M. Oldfield.

This memorial is dedicated to the specific individuals listed who died in the First World War. It was made in London, England and erected by the St. Andrew's Anglican Church parish council. 1914-18 War took its toll at Cowichan Station at the start of the war. There had been a tremendous serge of patriotic fervour. The almost tranquil east window depicting the moment after crucifixion, was designed and made in London, as memorial to the thirteen men who gave their lives in that conflict. As a thank offering for peace, a new bell was donated and the bell tower constructed. Meanwhile Captain A. Lane presented the base and stem of the lectern Rescued from the shelled ruins of Ypres Cathedral in Belgium, and the Rector, Rev. F.L. Stephenson, who had also gone to the war, the fragments of stained glass from a bombed church in Rheims, France, which are incorporated in the windows to the north and south side of the nave.

The congregation of St. Andrew's Anglican Church in Cowichan Station, British Columbia chose as its war memorial a window depicting a crucified Christ flanked by the Virgin Mary and a Roman soldier. This simple image related the suffering of Jesus directly to the suffering of the soldiers; by using the figure of Christ to commemorate the church's fallen, the window admitted the clear parallels between the two.

The 1914-18 war took its toll on Cowichan Station, at which there had been a tremendous surge of patriotic fervour at the beginning of the war. The almost tranquil east window depicting the moment after crucifixion, was designed and made in London, as memorial to the thirteen men who gave their lives in that conflict. As a thank offering for peace, a new bell was donated and the bell tower constructed. Meanwhile Captain A. Lane presented the base and stem of the lectern Rescued from the shelled ruins of Ypres Cathedral in Belgium, and the Rector, Rev. F.L. Stephenson, who had also gone to the war, the fragments of stained glass from a bombed church in Rheims, France, which are incorporated in the windows to the north and south side of the nave. In the First World War, Rev. Stephenson was seconded as Chaplain to the Canadian Forces, with the 49th Brigade.
