Bronze Memorial – This bronze memorial was designed as a tribute to the men of the Eaton's company who died as a result of service in the First World War. A 1919 Eaton's publication noted that 3,327 Eaton's staff enlisted in the war. The memorial is presently located in the Toronto Eaton Centre at Yonge & Dundas Streets and is accompanied by a second plaque for staff who gave their lives in WWII. The WWI plaque was unveiled in Toronto on November 15th, 1923 by Mrs. Timothy Eaton, widow of the founder. An identical memorial was also placed in the Winnipeg store and was unveiled by Lady Eaton on November 26th, 1923.
