There is no wording on the vases or candlesticks, but in the book on the history of St. Peter's it states that they were presented in 1946 in memory of Anthony Ord Compton-Lundie, a parishioner killed in action in Europe on the last day of the Second World War.

The plaque explains the heroic actions of Charles F. Hoey and other fallen comrades who fought in Burma's Arakan region and places recognition on August 15 1945 when Japan surrendered. Major Hoey led a team in 1944. He was fatally wounded and received the Victoria Cross. Arakan Burma was the scene of a battle in the Second World War where there was a gallant charge made by the allied forces under heavy machine-gun fire. Major Charles F. Hoey personally led his company under heavy resistance to capture a vital enemy position in February 1944. He accomplished this mission in spite of being wounded three times. He was fatally wounded after leading this successful offensive and received the Victoria Cross for valour for his efforts.

Constructed on August 15, 1996, in memory of Major Charles F. Hoey, VC, MC. He was killed in the battle of Aralem on Feb. 16, 1944, and is buried in Rangoon. In 1945, the Governor-General set aside District Lot 11, Cowichan Lake Land District, as a "Public Park" and named it Arakan Park. This designation was followed by the installation of a bronze plaque placed in the Park in 1996. It explains the heroic actions of Charles F. Hoey and other fallen comrades who fought in Burma's Arakan region. It also placed recognition of August 15, 1945, V-J Day, when Japanese Imperial forces surrendered. Arakan Burma was the scene of a battle in the Second World War where there was a gallant charge made by the allied forces under heavy machine-gun fire. Major Charles F. Hoey personally led his company under heavy resistance to capture a vital enemy position in February 1944. He accomplished this mission in spite of being wounded three times. He was fatally wounded after leading this successful offensive and received the Victoria Cross for valour for his efforts.

At Stoltz Pool, the picnic site overlooks the river from a grassy area nestled in a grove of old big leaf maple trees. The Burma Star Memorial Cairn, a replica of the Kohima Monument in Myamar (Burma) is located here. In August 1996, the cairn was erected by the Burma Star Association to commemorate and tell the story of Major Hoey and the Allied Second World War campaign in East Asia.

The nearby interpretive display at the memorial site tells the story of the "Forgotten Army" on one side and lists the members of the Burma Star Association of BC on the other.

The memorial cairn on Mt. Prevost was erected in 1929 by Capt. J. Douglas Groves and the community in memory of those who had fallen in the First World War. Later, a second plaque was installed for those fallen in the Second World War. The memorial is constructed of granite and is over ten metres tall. Because of its size and location, it is visible from nearby highways.

Directions - From the Trans Canada Highway turn west onto Highway 18. Drive 0.7 kilometres, then turn north onto Somenos Rd., drive another 0.7 kilometres then turn northwest onto Mt. Prevost Rd. which turns into gravel after 0.5 kilometres. To reach the Mt. Prevost summit, drive for 8 kilometres (20 minutes) along this road and the Prevost Mainline. The roads are passable in good weather by 2WD vehicle, but high clearance is recommended. See also memorial 59012-034

The Dallas Square Cenotaph was built in 1921 by the Great War Veteran’s Association of Nanaimo to commemorate local men who died during the First World War. It was unveiled on November 7, 1921. The design was based on an ancient Egyptian model and it was created and executed by local monument works owner C.E.J. Millins.

Names of those who died during the Second World War were added later. Plaques were added to acknowledge the Korean War and Merchant Navy.
