42nd BN Memorial Window
Unveiled in 1921, a stained glass window hangs above the altar at the Church of St. Andrews and St. Paul. The window honours Lt.-Col. Barlett McLellan and officers of the 42nd Battalion, Royal Highlanders of Canada, which was formed in Montreal.
McLellan died at the age of 49 on Aug. 3, 1918. The inscription reads: “In proud remembrance of Lt-Col Bartlett McLellan D.S.O. Officers & Men of the 42nd BN, R H C. They sought the glory of their country. They see the glory of God.”
The stained glass window is just one of the many tributes to the bravery of soldiers during the war within the church, which is associated with the Black Watch of Canada.
