THIS WAR MEMORIAL WINDOW IS THE GIFT OF THE MEMBERS
OF THIS CHURCH AS A THANKSGIVING TO ALMIGHTY GOD
FOR THE GREAT VICTORIES OF THE WAR YEARS AND FOR THE
PEACE. IT ALSO STANDS AS A TRIBUTE TO THOSE PARISHION-
ERS WHO ENLISTED IN ONE OR BOTH OF THE WARS OF 1914-1918
AND 1939-1945, SOME OF WHOM PAID THE SUPREME SACRIFICE.

IN THE CENTRE OF THE WINDOW WE SEE OUR LORD ROBED
IN PRINCELY GARMENTS, RECEIVING WITH TENDER GRACE AND LOVE
A KNEELING KNIGHT WHO SYMBOLIZES THOSE WHO SERVED SO
FAITHFULLY IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THE KING.

ON THE RIGHT OF THE CENTRAL FIGURE WE HAVE ST. PAUL,
THE PATRON SAINT OF THIS CHURCH. THE BOOK HE HOLDS REMINDS
US OF HIS LETTERS WHEREIN HE PICTURES THE CHRISTIAN SOLDIER,
THE SWORD TELLS OF HIS "GOOD FIGHT" AND HIS MARTYRDOM FOR
THE FAITH. ON THE LEFT IS SEEN THE YOUTHFUL ST. GEORGE WITH
HIS HISTORIC BANNER, ELOQUENT OF CHRIST'S SACRIFICE.
HE EXEMPLIFIES THAT SPIRIT OF CHRISTIAN CHIVALRY AND
DEVOTION TO DUTY MANIFEST STILL IN OUR YOUTH OF TO-DAY.

IN THE VERY CENTRE OF THE TOP ARCH OF THE WINDOW
CAN BE SEEN A SMALL MEDALLION, YELLOWISH IN COLOUR. THE
SAME IS A LINK WITH THE FIRST GREAT WAR, BEING A FRAG-
MENT FROM THE STAINED GLASS WINDOW OF CAMBRAI CATHE-
DRAL, FRANCE.

ON EACH SIDE FLANKING THE CENTRE ARCH THE BADGES OF
THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES ARE REPRESENTED.- ON THE LEFT
THE ROYAL CANADIAN NAVY, THE ROYAL CANADIAN ARMY,
AND THE ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE
AND ON THE RIGHT
THE WOMEN'S ROYAL NAVAL SERVICE, THE
CANADIAN WOMEN'S ARMY CORPS AND THE WOMEN'S DIV-
ISION (ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE).

IN THE LOWER REACHES OF EACH LANCET ARE THE CROSS AND
THE CROWN, THE CANADIAN COAT OF ARMS, AND THE ARMS OF
ONTARIO. THIS WINDOW, THE WORK OF ROB'T. MCCAUSLAND, LTD.
AND THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE BELOW IT, THE WORK OF
MR. CHAS. GOODE OF ISLINGTON, ONT., WERE UNVEILED ON SUNDAY
NOVEMBER 10TH, 1946 BY THE WARDENS OF THE CHURCH, MESSRS.
J. ROSS LAWRENCE AND FRED T. DELGATY, AND DEDICATED BY
THE RECTOR OF THE PARISH, THE VENERABLE C. WILFRED BALFOUR,
M.A. ARCHDEACON OF ALGOMA, THE PREACHER BEING H/CAPT.
THE REV. CYRIL H.G. PETO, RECTOR OF PARRY SOUND, ONT.

THAT THEIR NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN.

This celebrated Canadian army nurse and public health author-
ity was born in Port Arthur. In 1909 “Beth” Smellie became night

Canadian Army Medical Corps in 1915, she served in France
and England. Elizabeth Smellie was demobilized in 1920 and
three years later became Chief Superintendent of the Victorian
Order of Nurses for Canada. She re-entered the army in 1940
and a year later supervised the organization of the Canadian
Women’s Army Corps. The first woman to attain the rank of
Colonel in Canada’s Armed Forces, Col. Smellie achieved many
honours, including Commander of the British Empire and the
Royal Red Cross Medal. After World War II she returned to the
V.O.N., and retired in 1947.
