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.

Eaton Plaque
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.
