The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

Erected by the 77th Overseas Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, and unveiled on June 11, 1916, this plaque is dedicated to members of the battalion who attended service at Christ Church Cathedral.
