Captain Allan Gray Memorial Window

The father of Captain Allan Gray (killed in action 29 September 1918) erected a memorial window in Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Burford, Ontario which took as its theme the baptism of Jesus. It is the inscriptions, however, which affirm the unity between soldier and Christ: "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased" and "Behold the Lamb of God [that taketh away the sins of the world]." The window is at once personal and universal. It expresses the pride of a grieving parent as well as the faith that Captain Gray, like Jesus, died to atone for the sins of the world.
