Notice:

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.

On October 3, 1920, a memorial tablet was unveiled to the 27 men from the congregation of Old St. Andrew's Church who made the supreme sacrifice in the First World War. The service was attending by Brigadier-General Ross, CB, CMB, who had charge of a unit in the first contingent. The tablet was unveiled by tow Highlanders in uniform.

In 1950, Old St. Andrew's and Westminster-Central joined as St. Andrew's United Church at the present site on Bloor Street, and the Old St. Andrew's site was sold.
