The St. Andrew by-the-lake Anglican Church First World War Window is a memorial to the 58 Islanders who gave their lives in the First World War and was created by the N.T. Lyon Company in 1919. The window was unveiled and dedicated on August 3, 1919. The unveiling was performed by Brig.-Gen. C. H. Mithcell, C.B., C.M.G., D.W.O. Bishop Reeves delivered the dedicatory address.
The names of 46 soldiers who died were read aloud at the service. Subsequent to the service, it was determined that an additional 12 Islanders died serving in the war.
The window is a beautiful work of ecclesiastical art. The center section depicts the crucifixion, with the Holy City in the background. On either side are the figures of Mary and Saint John, while beneath is a scene on the battlefield with a Red Cross nurse tending a wounded soldier in the foreground.
