St. Andrew's Anglican Church War Memorial

The 1914-18 war took its toll on Cowichan Station, at which there had been a tremendous surge of patriotic fervour at the beginning of the war. The almost tranquil east window depicting the moment after crucifixion, was designed and made in London, as memorial to the thirteen men who gave their lives in that conflict. As a thank offering for peace, a new bell was donated and the bell tower constructed. Meanwhile Captain A. Lane presented the base and stem of the lectern Rescued from the shelled ruins of Ypres Cathedral in Belgium, and the Rector, Rev. F.L. Stephenson, who had also gone to the war, the fragments of stained glass from a bombed church in Rheims, France, which are incorporated in the windows to the north and south side of the nave. In the First World War, Rev. Stephenson was seconded as Chaplain to the Canadian Forces, with the 49th Brigade.
