A memorial window in the nave area was dedicated to Gordon Hamilton Fowler, given by his comrades-in-arms. The window depicting Christ enthroned in Majesty and includes the Black Watch badge in the dedication panel. It was commissioned in May 1923 for $200 and created by Charles William Kelsey.

Charles William Kelsey was born in England and emigrated to Montreal in 1922. His stained glass designs can be found in England, Australia, the United States and in over 68 churches in Canada. Charles was responsible for all steps in his windows design and painting. He worked out of a room in his home or a studio set apart from the house and his painted work was fired at Acme Glass. Since Canada did not manufacture stained glass until April 1976, during his career all the stained glass was imported.
