Stained Glass Window – A window at Christ Church Cathedral, Burrard Street, West Vancouver, B.C. is a memorial dedicated to a young soldier, Private Norman Vincent Hughes of the 196th Battalion, who lost his life in the First World War. Jesus is shown with hands outstretched, calling his first disciples, Andrew and Simon Peter. They are emerging from the waters of the Sea of Galilee with a catch of fish, reminding us that disciples were called to be 'fishers of men'. Saint Peter is robed in blue and brown, signs of truth and renunciation of the world. Saint Andrew is robed in violet; love and truth. THEY FORSOOK ALL AND FOLLOWED HIM IN LOVING MEMORY OF PTE.
