Constructed after the war in order to provide a place of worship for the many English families whose men were working on the cemeteries and memorials, it soon became a memorial in itself. Brass plaques representing famous British regiments line the walls and almost every article of furniture has been contributed by those who had a special reason for remembering Ypres. Inside the always-open door there is the following inscription:
Canadian contributions
The Canadian contributions include:
- the fine panelling around the altar, which was the gift of the Army Garrison at London, Ontario;
- There are also plaques given by the Canadian Machine Gun Corps and the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry; and,
- A stained glass window dedicated to British and Canadian airmen who perished defending the Ypres Salient.
Today, St. George's Memorial Church is still a place of worship, but the church depends largely on donations from those who wish to preserve the sacrifices made during the Battle for Ypres.
