The Hyatt Avenue Methodist Church First World War Roll of Honor was originally displayed in the Hyatt Avenue United Church on Hamilton Road and subsequently in the Fairmont United Church on Tweedsmuir Avenue in London before the churches closed. Formerly Methodist, the Hyatt Avenue United Church was established in 1925 in the Hamilton Road community. The stars on the Honour Roll represent those who sacrificed their lives in the war. 

When local resident Mike Lee realized there was no longer a congregation at Fairmont United Church, he reached out to the Metropolitan United Church for this and two other Honour Rolls, then worked with the City to have them moved to their new location. In April 2022, all three of the memorials honouring Londoners from the Hamilton Road community who served in First World War and the Second World War were put on display in the lobby at Hamilton Road Seniors' Centre & Community Centre.

In Remembrance of
All Victims of Chemical Warfare

Remembering the horrors of chemical warfare on the battlefields of the First World War,
Canada took up the task of researching and developing defences against chemical
warfare in the 1930s. From 1941 to 1945, the battle to provide effective defence
against such weapons of mass destruction was conducted at both the
Experimental Station in Suffield, Alberta and the Chemical Warfare Laboraties in Ottawa
where military personnel participated in many hazards and secret trials.
Their efforts were unknown for many years. Their duty was exceptional
and finally recognized by the Canadian Government on February 19, 2004.
