In 1919, a panel of three stained glass windows were installed in the main entranceway of what was then McGill's Strathcona Medical Building (it is now the Anatomy and Dentistry Building). Each panel of the window commemorates a McGill doctor who died during the war.
The left panel is dedicated to Lt. Col. Roland Playfair Campbell, who served with 6th Field Ambulance, Canadian Army Medical Corps when he was killed in September 16, 1916. The panel shows an image of the Thiepval Front, where he was killed, as well as a surgeon's knife, scissors and bandages.
The right panel is dedicated to Lt. Col. Henry Brydges Yates, who volunteered to serve at the age of 47 and died of bronchitis in January 22, 1916. His panel shows Boulogne, France, where he served with the Canadian Army Medical Corps in a military hospital.
The centre panel, festooned with bright red poppies, is dedicated to Lt. Col. John McCrae. The bottom section features his poem, In Flanders Fields. On January 28, 1918, after an illness of five days, he died of pneumonia and meningitis. The day he fell ill, he learned he had been appointed consulting physician to the First British Army, the first Canadian so honoured.
