This plaque was erected in memory of Edwin Patrick O’Reilly who gave his life in the South African War. It is thought that the plaque was likely erected in the original Trinity College chapel on Queen Street West in Toronto. The college moved from that location in 1925. After a new chapel was built in 1955 at the current location, all of the early plaques from the original location were moved to the narthex.
