This stained glass window consisting of four panels was erected at Grace Church on-the-Hill to the Glory of God and in loving memory of Lieutenant Evan Edward Price who was wounded at Moreuil Wood on 30 March 1918, invalided home and died on 11 September 1919. The windows were made by Robert McCausland Limited and installed in 1919 in the Ambulatory. Separately, the windows depict the four evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John presenting scrolls.

Evan was born on 11 October 1897, to Annie C. and Lewis A. Price in Mount Elgin, Ontario. He was a student at the Upper Canada College and a member of the Governor General’s Body Guard militia when he enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force on 11 February 1916. He went overseas with the Canadian Mounted Rifles and later became a lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Dragoons (1st Armoured Regiment). In March of 1916 he was awarded the Military Cross; in June he was awarded a Bar to add to the Cross for his courage. In February of 1918 he won the Distinguished Service Order, for his reconnaissance work.
