On 30 September 1923 Reverend Canon H.F.D. Woodcock unveiled and dedicated a stained glass window to honour Lieutenant Norman Eden Walker. Dedicated by Walker’s parents, it is a north facing window made of antique English glass. It depicts an image of Jesus Christ in the center, a youthful soldier on his right, and an angel holding a crown on his left. 

Born on 5 October 1896 in Toronto, Norman worked as a clerk and was member of the Governor General’s Body Guard militia before enlisting on 8 December 1915. He became a Lieutenant in the 124th Battalion before being killed in action at Vimy Ridge on 13 April 1917.
