In earlier times, Colours played a prominent part in many battles. They served to identify units in battle, often marking the focal point of a struggle. Captured Colours were a prized trophy and attracted enemy attention and inspired much gallantry. By the late 19^th and 20^th Century, however, they were no longer carried in battle, but their status as the heart and soul of a Regiment continued, and the laying up of Colours signifies and helps keep holy the memories of the men who sacrificed their lives.

On 14 November 1926 a memorial cross was unveiled in The Church of the Messiah at 240 Avenue Road and dedicated by the 3rd Battalion (Toronto Regiment), Canadian Expeditionary Force.

Armitage and Captain A.E. MacDonald earned the Military Cross for their conspicuous gallantry in action.

Captain Reverend W.R.R. Armitage, MC, conducted the service and the Toronto Regiment and Veterans of the 3rd Battalion marched from the College Street Armories to the church to commemorate the occasion.

His son Joseph Grant Helliwell died in the First World War and the church dedicated an alms basin in his honour.
