The Private Elsworth Albert Chapman Plaque was erected in the Newtonbrook Wesleyan Methodist Church after his death in the First World War. He was killed in action at Passchendaele, Belgium on November 1, 1917.
Newtonbrook Wesleyan Methodist Church was located at 1 East Yonge Street. In 1925, the congregation joined the United Church and moved to a new larger church in 1962 located on Cummer Avenue and became Newtonbrook United Church. The church is now known as Cummer Avenue United Church. The plaque is currently in storage at the church.
