The Rev T.H. Farr, appointed Rector of the Anglican Church in Kincardine from 1915 - 1928, encouraged parishioners to place stained glass windows in the church. The Girl's Guild of the Women's Institute of Kincardine purchased a stained glass memorial window at a cost of $500. It was placed over the altar in the Sanctuary in memory of those killed on active service during the First World War.
