Church
World War II memorial stained glass windows (1954) by Charles William Kelsey depicting the Good Shepard were installed in honour of parishioners of the Church of the Ascension. "Lieut. F.J. Dynes, Age 23, Killed in France August 1st 1944. Also L/Cpl. Gorden William Manels, Age 21, Killed in France July 25th, 1944. Both of the Black Watch" When the church of the Ascension, 5253 Parc, Montreal was converted into the Mile End public library, this memorial window was separated into panels and now hangs in the windows of the reading areas. -
