St. Thomas (Anglican) Church, Huron St., Toronto, Ontario. The octagonal
Baptistry (1917) houses a central baptismal font, and also serves as a World
War One memorial for the war dead of this parish. The room includes stained
glass windows by the Bromsgrove Guild. These show images of medieval
knights, St. Michael the Archangel and St. George, and a wounded soldier in
a circa 1914-1918 military uniform standing among red poppies. Individually
inscribed wooden war memorial panels line the walls. Each panel includes
the name of a war casualty in gilt lettering with rank, unit and date of
death.
