On December 9, 1930, a number of ex-servicemen met in the Lynn Valley Municipal Hall and formed a branch of the Canadian Legion, British Empire Service League. In April 1948, they purchased a property from the District at 1630 Lynn Valley Road, where the branch is now located. To pay for the property and build the branch, monies were raised from raffles, football sweeps, teas, dances, whist drives, draws, concessions, hall and room rentals, pool and concerts. After three years, they began bulldozing, and building started in July 1951 and all work on the property and building was by volunteers. The branch was officially dedicated on September 28, 1952.

The Squamish Nation Cenotaph was dedicated in 1986 by war Veterans. It honours those from the Squamish Nation that served in the First and Second World Wars, Cyprus and Vietnam.

Deacon Rennie Nahanee along with his late cousin Veteran Jimmy Nahanee researched Squamish people and Tsleil Waututh people who served in the Armed Forces. Many Indigenous people were not recognized for their service to the war effort and they felt there wasn’t any recognition at other Remembrance Day ceremonies, so their own monument was erected.

Walter MacKay Draycott was born 24 February 1883, in Leicester, England and served with the 60th Rifles and Engineers during the Boer War before immigrating to Canada. With difficulty finding work, Draycott turned to farming and was recognized as a pioneer to the Lynn Valley, British Columbia area. On the outbreak of the First World War, he was back in England with his old regiment and while waiting to be commissioned as an officer, was claimed by Lieutenant-Colonel Farquhar of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry because he was a Canadian Citizen.

Draycott was quickly recognized for his ability to sketch enemy positions accurately, take photographs, create charts, and topography that was vital to Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry operations at the front. He was appointed Military Topographer and sought by General Macdonell for service in the 7th Canadian Infantry Brigade. Appointed the only official Sketcher in the Canadian Army, he was wounded three times, arrested several times as a spy while sketching and gassed twice.

The last dose of gas sent him to England where, after recovering, he conducted a school to teach officers the art of Military Sketching and Topography. After the war, he moved back to Lynn Valley. Walter died on 21 October 1985 at the age of 102. He left behind many photos, sketches, charts and narratives which give rare insights into the life of a soldier during the First World War.

Your Ancient Scribe statue is a lifelike depiction of Walter Mackay Draycott. It was created by Kevin Head who apprenticed for the statue with well-known sculptor and foundry specialist Jack Harman who lived in Lynn Valley at the time. The work was created at Jack's foundry on Alexandra Street in Gastown and unveiled in November 1986.
