WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR
IN COELA QUIES EST
THIS SCREEN IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF THOSE OF OUR STAFF
WHO GAVE UP THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR— 1914-1918.
"These laid the world away; poured out the sweet red wine of youth;
gave up the years to be of work and joy and that unhoped serene, that
men call age; and those that would have been their sons, they gave their
immortality."
In 1931, a permanent memorial in the Canadian Bank of Commerce's new Head Office was dedicated to Canadian Bank of Commerce employees who died in the First World War. This memorial was carved in situ inside the banking hall and made from Hauteville and Belgian marble. Designed by Emmanuel Hahn, it features two angels with sheathed swords kneeling on either side of the altar of sacrifice. John Donnelly of New York carved this panel and the rest was carved by William Dawson of Montreal. The quote on the inscription is from a poem by Rupert Brooke.
The Canadian Bank of Commerce went to great lengths to commemorate its staff that served in the Great War including memorials commissioned for their branches and a two-volume book of staff profiles and accounts of their war experiences.

The Aura Lee Club was founded in 1887. The competitive athletics part of the club began about 1903. In 1925, the property was turned over to the University of Toronto for use by its preparatory school (UTS). Hockey, canoeing, other sports and social events evoke the lighter side of a Toronto club’s life, but this memorial shows the darker side—naming 63 comrades who went from the playing fields to the battlefields and didn’t come back.
Names on a bronze plaque with dates (1914-1918) indicate a tribute to those members of the Aura Lee Club who died in the Great War.

A living memorial, the groves of Coronation Park commemorate the service and sacrifice of Canada's military. The tree at the center of the circle, known as King's Oak, is the park's symbolic heart. Surrounding the King's Oak is a ring of maple trees representing the former British Empire's dominions and colonies. Trees in other groves commemorate Canada's military units, principally of the First World War.
The park's plan reflects a move away from elaborately planted Victorian gardens to stands of trees that would mature into a structured landscape in the decades to come. Symbols of life, Coronation Park's trees embody the spirit of idealism that emerged following the horrors of the First World War.
Designed by members of the Toronto chapter of Men of the Trees and the Toronto Ex-Servicemen's Coronation Committee, the park opened on the day of King George VI's coronation, May 12, 1937.
In 1939, granite stones were added to each tree to identify the military units.

THESE FOUR WINDOWS ARE ERECTED TO THE GLORY OF GODIN LOVING MEMORY OF EVAN EDWARD PRICE, DSO AND BAR, LIEUT. RCD. DIED OF WOUNDS. TORONTO, SEPT. 11, 1919.
This stained glass window consisting of four panels was erected at Grace Church on-the-Hill to the Glory of God and in loving memory of Lieutenant Evan Edward Price who was wounded at Moreuil Wood on 30 March 1918, invalided home and died on 11 September 1919. The windows were made by Robert McCausland Limited and installed in 1919 in the Ambulatory. Separately, the windows depict the four evangelists: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John presenting scrolls.
Evan was born on 11 October 1897, to Annie C. and Lewis A. Price in Mount Elgin, Ontario. He was a student at the Upper Canada College and a member of the Governor General’s Body Guard militia when he enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force on 11 February 1916. He went overseas with the Canadian Mounted Rifles and later became a lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Dragoons (1st Armoured Regiment). In March of 1916 he was awarded the Military Cross; in June he was awarded a Bar to add to the Cross for his courage. In February of 1918 he won the Distinguished Service Order, for his reconnaissance work.
