A stained glass window at Grace Church on-the-Hill was dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant John Anthony Ninian Ormsby, who was killed in the First World War. It was designed by N.T. Lyon Company. The inspiration for the window comes from Samuel I, chapter 3.
Ormsby was born on 15 December 1894, in Danville, Quebec to John and Susie Ormsby and grew up in Forest Hill, Toronto, Ontario. He was a student at the Upper Canada College and a member of the 10th Royal Grenadiers when he received a commission to serve as a lieutenant with the Eaton’s Machine Gun Battery on 3 February 1915. He became a flight-lieutenant with the Royal Flying Corps on 20 June 1916. He was reported missing while flying reconnaissance behind enemy lines at the Somme on 2 August 1916, later presumed dead.
