St. Thomas (Anglican) Church, Huron St., Toronto, Ontario. The octagonal Baptistry (1917) houses a central baptismal font, and also serves as a World
War One memorial for the war dead of this parish. The room includes stained glass windows by the Bromsgrove Guild. These show images of medieval knights, St. Michael the Archangel and St. George, and a wounded soldier in a circa 1914-1918 military uniform standing among red poppies. Individually inscribed wooden war memorial panels line the walls. Each panel includes the name of a war casualty in gilt lettering with rank, unit and date of
death.

CIMETIÈRE DE SUN QUARRY Pas de Calais, France
Cherisy est un village à 13 kilomètres environ au sud-ouest d'Arras. Le cimetière se trouve à 1.5 kilomètres au sud-ouest du village, du côté nord-ouest de la route D38 qui mène à Hendecourt. Le village de Cherisy a été capturé par la 18e Division alliée le 3 mai 1917, mais il a été repris la même nuit par les Allemands, qui s'y sont maintenus jusqu'à ce que le Corps canadien le reprenne, le 27 août 1918. Le cimetière porte le nom d'une carrière de silex située à courte distance au sud-est de Cherisy et que l'armée britannique avait surnommée « sun quarry ». Le cimetière a une superficie de 462 mètres carrés et est entouré d'un mur de briques.
