This is a real tribute to the community of Revelstoke for erecting and maintaining this war memorial. It honours those brave men who fought and died during WW I, WW II and Korea.
Erected in 1923 by the Women's Auxiliary, Great War Veterans and the Citizens of Revelstoke, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead. A plaque to the memory of the Second World War Veterans was added in 1946 and another to the Korean War sometime after that conflict.
The plaques attached bear the names of those Veterans who fought and died from Revelstoke and Arrowhead. We honour them here;
To Our Glorious Dead
