The Stockton Memorial Civic Auditorium opened in November 1925 and it seats approximately 5,000 people. Local architects Glenn Allen and Wright & Satterlee were awarded construction, while Stocktonians conducted bond drives to fund construction of the Memorial Auditorium to honor those who gave their lives while serving in the Armed Forces in World War I.  An inscription at the top of the exterior wall states:  "To the men of Stockton, California who gave their lives in World War I."

George Stevens created this sculpture. It was originally dedicated on August 20, 1949, with a silver-painted wooden bald eagle, with wings outstretched and perched atop a concrete and granite base. A cast aluminum one replaced it in 1951. On a granite slab in front of the base is an inscription that honors those from Stone County who died during WWI, WWII and the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

An unknown sculptor created this life-size metal WWI dough­boy, holding binoculars in his left hand. He wears a belted trench coat and has a hand gun holstered on his right hip. On his other hip is a knapsack. The statue was first dedicated in 1910 to honor the veter­ans of WW I and sat in front of the home of Jerry Rickets on Meadowbrook Ln. It has been moved three times, and as of 1997, the con­crete original was still in existence, in the Stow Safety Building.

Architect: Armar Embury II

This monument, dedicated in 1931, is a life-sized bronze statue of a WWI soldier dressed in a field uniform, carrying a jacket over his right arm and a helmet and rifle in the other.  Beneath is a multi-tiered granite base decorated with inscribed plaques listing the 41 men of Suffolk and Nansemond County who died during World War I.  The inscription reads:

In memory of the men of Suffolk and Nansemond County who gave their lives in the World War

1917-1919

They sought not glory, but their country’s good and died that right, which is more precious than peace, might prevail.
