The Codroy Valley War Memorial honours those who served and especially the fallen of the First and Second World Wars, Korean War and Afghanistan. The memorial was erected on March 28, 2016. Codroy Valley is a collection of 15 communities in western Newfoundland.

On November 11, 2017 residents from the southwest coast gathered to see the official dedication of its first war memorial. The ceremony included a parade, with members of two local cadet corps, Legion Branch 11 members, Girl Guides of Canada, Canadian Rangers, Fish and Wildlife officers, RCMP and Knights of Columbus marching to St. Ann's Church in Upper Ferry.

Volunteers in the community set up an adhoc committee under the Codroy Valley Area Development Association and fundraised to see the memorial put in place.
