A brass plaque in honour of Broadway Methodist Tabernacle parishioners who gave their lives in the First World War was unveiled on February 10, 1918. The merger of churches that created the United Church of Canada in 1924 led to the eventual closing of the Tabernacle. The building at 270 College Street was demolished by 1930.
The plaque was transferred to College Street United Church and unveiled on May 5, 1929. It was set beside the plaque to the memory of the men from College Street Presbyterian Church who served in the First World War. In symbol of the union of the two congregations, wreaths were placed below each plaque by a member of the other church. Corporal C.C. Querrie, who went from Broadway Tabernacle to the war, honored the memory of the men of College Street Presbyterian Church. Milton Torrance, Petty Officer, Royal Naval Reserve, a member of the congregation of College Street Presbyterian Church, laid his wreath below the Broadway Tabernacle plaque. Reverend S.D. Chown, DD, LLD, who 30 years prior was the minister of Broadway Tabernacle, unveiled the newly placed plaque.
