A memorial roll created by Owen Staples in honour of Danforth Avenue Baptist Church parishioners who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars was donated by Mrs. F.L. Halford and unveiled in 1919 during a dedication service led by Reverend Dr. John McNeil. It hung in the church sanctuary at 60 Bowden Street, Toronto until 2022 when the church donated the memorial to the Canadian War Museum.
