This plaque is dedicated to the memory of Private Thomas George King, born March 1887. He was killed in the Battle of Dury Wood and is buried at Dury Mill British Cemetery, between Arras and Cambrai.

This plaque was originally located at the Loyal Orange #222 Billings Bridge; at the time, the village of Billings Bridge was a small community near the present day Billings Bridge in Ottawa. With the closure of the Lodge, the plaque eventually came into the hands of Gloucester Township Historical Society.
