Erected to the memory of Alexander Hewitt Bostock, who paid the supreme sacrifice in the First World War, 1914-1918. Alex, as he was affectionately called, died on July 26, 1916, aged 23 years. He is buried in the New Military Cemetery of Poperingle near Ypres in Belgium, Plot 2, Row D, Grave 8. Lieutenant Alexander H. Bostock's grave is registered with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Canadian Agency, Veterans Affairs Building, Wellington Street, Ottawa, Canada, K1A 0P4. A bronze plaque in his memory is prominently displayed in the entrance way (bell tower) of the small church. The church, given by his parents, Senator and Mrs. Hewitt Bostock, was opened on Christmas Sunday, 1926, and has been in constant use since that day. The whole of the interior is panelled and tinted old oak, has a first-class heating system and was wired for electricity when built. Lovely antique lamp sconces on the walls provide lighting and are complimented by antique ceiling fixtures. A special bell imported from England is well over a hundred years old and its delightful tone has rung out over the valley for some 71 years before each Sunday service. Furnishing of the church, i.e., altar, lectern, reading desk, font, brass candlesticks, cross and offering plate, are originals augmented by some furnishings from little country churches that have been closed over the years. The exterior of the church has been kept in good condition and any renovation necessary has duplicated the original as closely as possible. There is one stained glass window on the church dedicated to a pioneer minister, the Reverend George Stewart, and to his wife. Two other windows are to be dedicated in 1997, one in the memory of a long-time parishioner and warden, Mr. Michael (Mickey) Flatt, and the other to the Reverend Ken S. Earl who served the congregation from 1990 to 1993. Ken was also padre to the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 52, to the Anavets, Branch 290, and to the Royal Canadian Navy Association, all of Kamloops. Another Padre of these three Veterans' groups also served intermittently at St. Peter's over the years, the Reverend Canon W.H. Atkinson. So, military remembrances were observed from time to time under these two men.

This series of plaques is dedicated to various members of the congregation killed during the First World War.

"Mount Goslin" This mountain was named in 1965 in honour of Earl W. Goslin. Goslin served with the Canadian Army and was killed in action on 16 December 1944.

Dedicated by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 107 to commemorate those who served in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.

The Blue River Cenotaph was built in the mid 1980s. It has a square concrete base with tapered sides and at the top is a large natural stone close to five feet in height.

At the July 14, 1958, Royal Canadian Legion Brach 242 meeting, a motion was made by Len Sadlier-Brown that a local memorial be built as there were many men lost from the area and it was a two hour drive into Kamloops to attend Remembrance Day services. A wooden cross was used as a memorial until the cenotaph was built in 1973. Roy Inkster designed and built the cenotaph out of cement and volunteers from the Legion built the base out of cement and rock. Earl Frazer and Eric Johnson were among the volunteers. 

The Barrierre Cenotaph has granite insets on each side. In 2001, a grey granite inset was mounted on the front with four black plaques in remembrance of wars in which Canadians fought and died. It was refurbished in 2013 at cost of $12,000 by Fritz Prudat and Tom Kempter. Afghanistan and UN plaques were added at this time.

Erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 284, this memorial is dedicated to the memory of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.

This memorial was constructed in 1925. A Ladies' Auxiliary to the Great War Veterans Association was started in 1919 to aid the club and to choose a memorial to war veterans. The auxiliary held bazaars and other fund-raising affairs to raise money for this purpose. It was decided by them to have a clock as part of the memorial. Location of the Memorial was a matter of much discussion for several years. In June 1923, a plebiscite was held, the majority favouring a site in the 400-block, Victoria. On June 22, 1923, an ad was inserted in the Standard by the Auxiliary to the G.W.V. Association for tenders to erect the clock. The clock had already been purchased by them from Benson's of England at a cost of $1,063.00 in December of 1921. A bazaar was held by the Auxiliary that month at which $833.00 was raised. In January 1924, a request was made to the City for help for the memorial and the Mayor appointed the finance committee to act on this. It was reported at the February 7, 1924, Council meeting that a meeting of representative bodies had met and decided City Council be asked to provide the balance of the money to complete the Memorial. A motion was passed that a by-law be introduced authorizing a loan to borrow the necessary amount. Voting took place March 15, 1924, and By-Law 389 for $3,800.00 was approved. Further discussion took place about location, and By-Law 402 was voted on with four choices: - N/E corner of Battle & 2nd - Stuart Wood School grounds, 3rd & St. Paul - Coronation Park (Riverside), - Victoria St. between 4th & 5th Av. June 20, 1924, the choice favoured for the Memorial was the N/E corner of Battle & 2nd. Tenders were called and Art Monument Company Ltd. of Vancouver was the successful bidder. Their quote of $5,000.00 was accepted on Sept. 11, 1924, which included the cost of fixing the mechanism and dials of the clock. On December 5, 1924, Architect W. H. MacAulay was asked to prepare plans of Memorial Hill - to be laid out and beautified in the future. The Memorial was duly finished and the unveiling took place on May 24, 1925.
