This memorial, an engraved stone, is dedicated to those who served in the First World War, Second World War and Korean War. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 591.

This Second World War Honour Roll was located in Vanneck United Church at 22651 Vanneck Road. The church closed on September 1, 2021, and it is not known what happened to the Honour Roll.

This style of an Honour Roll was designed by A.J. Casson when he worked at Sampson-Matthews, a prominent midtown Toronto lithography and commercial art company.

The Victory Loan Team of 1918 erected a band shell in Memorial Park as a slight appreciation of the brave men and women who took active part of the Great World War, 1914-1918.

The Hill Memorial commemorates two brothers who were killed in the First World War. It is not known what year the family erected the stone in their memory.

The Beachville Memorial was originally erected in the front of the Beachville Public School grounds, in the early 1920s. It consisted of a plaque placed in a stone cairn, later plaques were added to commemorate the Second World War and the Korean War. Following the closure of the school in 2011, the plaques were deeded to Beachville Legion and officially handed over during a short ceremony on November 28, 2012. The plaques are now located within the entrance of the Legion branch.

Memorial Park was dedicated after the Great War in 1921. In 1958, the park was moved to its current location. 

On July 19, 1921, a tablet was unveiled at a special service held at the Tavistock Library. Dr. M. Steele, M.D. acted as Chairman for the day’s event and dedicated the tablet to the memory of those who had served and to those two brave young men who had lost their lives. The Women's Institute purchased the bronze tablet with their funds and a generous donation from village council.

This white marble statue of a weeping lady, constructed in France, surmounting a granite base was erected on the high school grounds at 15 Elgin Street East in 1921 by Dan Miller of Woodstock. On the granite base were inscribed the names of thirty heroes that came from the Village of Norwich and the Township of North Norwich, who had not returned.

The official unveiling occurred on Victoria Day, 1921 and its day long program of events included a soft ball tournament, a performance of the Band of the Oxford Rifles (22nd Regiment), and a grand patriotic garden party in the evening, with proceeds of that event being added to the high school piano fund. That day was also the official opening of the High School grounds, as a park to be known as the High School Memorial Park, with the monument being located near the main entrance of the school.

In the 1950s, when the new Norwich High School opened the cenotaph was moved to its grounds. The school is now called the Emily Stowe Public School.

The former Soldiers Memorial Library at 25 Main Street served the community from 1921 until 1997, when it was replaced with a new modern library. Along with the new library, a memorial was created of fieldstones from the original library and features the original Soldiers Memorial Library dedication stone on the back.
