A tablet in honour of Lieutenant George Agnus Cockburn was unveiled in 1917 on the east wall of Chalmers Presbyterian Church. Lieutenant Cockburn died of his wounds on May 19, 1916, while serving with the Canadian Infantry (Western Ontario Regiment). The church sanctuary at 1266 Dundas Street W was destroyed by fire in 1945 and it is highly unlikely the tablet survived.

On March 7, 1920, three bronze tablets were unveiled honouring Chalmers Presbyterian Church parishioners who had given their lives in the First World War and those who fought and returned home. The first two tablets, made in duplicate, bear the names of those who made the supreme sacrifice in the war. The third and largest tablet bears the names of 280 men and women who served during the war and returned safely.

The church sanctuary at 1266 Dundas Street W was destroyed by fire in 1945 and was rebuilt. In 1978, the congregation merged with St. Paul's Dovercourt Presbyterian Church and the church on Dundas Street was demolished in the 1980s.

Throughout the First World War, Eaton employees on active service continued to receive salaries (either full or half pay, depending on their marital status). As a result, some 3,300 enlisted men received more than $2 million during this time. Because of Germany's involvement in the war, Eaton ordered a boycott of all German companies, and it was not until 1924 that the company resumed buying operations with Germany.

Margaret Wilson Eaton was married to Timothy Eaton who is remembered as the founder of the T. Eaton Co. Limited department store. This plaque was erected in memory of Margaret Eaton.
