On September 24, 1922, two bronze tablets was unveiled honouring Westmoreland Avenue Methodist Church parishioners who served in the First World War.

The congregation at  228-250 Westmoreland Avenue joined the United Church of Canada in 1925. In 1988, Westmoreland amalgamated with Westley-Grace-Carmen to form Westennial United Church. It closed in 1997. The Westmoreland Avenue Methodist Church building no longer exists and it is not known what happened to the tablets.
