Harrop Family Memorial Window

Milton, Ontario

This memorial is part of the large stained glass window on the Main Street wall. It was dedicated in 1919 by the Harrop family for their son, Cedric, and his friend Fred Walsh. Fred died in the battle of the Somme; in three months of fighting 25,000 Canadians were killed or wounded. Cedric Harrop was killed on the second day of the short but disastrous battle of Passchendaele (Belgium). In 13 days of this controversial action, the Canadian casualty list - dead and wounded - reached 15,000. David Harrop, a member of St. Paul’s who died in the Second World War, was a nephew of Cedric.
