This window is a regimental tribute from the 102nd North British Columbians to one of their fallen comrades, Colonel John W. Warden, erected in 1947. The banner across the top of the window lists battles in which the regiment fought. Christ extends His hand in blessing over war graves, shown as crosses at his feet. The tree in the background has been cut down before its time. The poppies refer to Colonel John McCrae's famous First World War poem, "In Flanders Fields," which made the poppy an enduring symbol of wartime and self-sacrifice. Above Christ's head are five peace doves.
