Royal Canadian Military Police Chapel stained glass window
On each side of the altar is a stained glass memorial window, each portrays a member of the force. On the left is a constable in mourning; on the right is a trumpeter sounding reveille. The model for the windows was Constable John Roy Fraser of Westville, Nova Scotia, in 1943. Fraser retired in 1960 at the rank of staff sergeant. The Memorial Project came about following the shooting of Constable Willis Edward Rhodeniser on the White Bear Reserve near Carlyle, Saskatchewan, on August 26, 1939. Two more stained glass memorial windows on each side wall near the front were dedicated on November 4, 1951. The Resurrection in the west window honours serving members and The Nativity in the east window honours ex-members of the force who died in the Second World War.
Inscription
Blessed are they that mourn Matthew 5.4
To the glory of God and in memory of members and ex members of the Force who gave their lives in the second great war
For the trumpet shall sound 1 Corinthians 15.52
To perpetuate the memories of those sons of the maritime provinces whose lives have been given in the service of this force
Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Blessed art thou among women to the glory of God and in memory of Miss Autre Carden who donated this window dedicated to the wives of members of the Force
Vitraux commémoratifs de la chapelle de la GRC
De chaque côté de l’autel, un vitrail commémoratif dépeint un membre de la GRC. Le vitrail de gauche montre un gendarme en deuil, et celui de droite, un trompettiste qui sonne le réveil. C’est le gendarme John Roy Fraser de Westville, en Nouvelle-Écosse, qui servit de modèle pour les vitraux, en 1943. Fraser prit sa retraite en 1960, ayant atteint le grade de sergent d’état-major. Le projet de vitraux commémoratifs prit naissance après que le gendarme Willis Edward Rhodeniser eut été abattu par balle dans la réserve de White Bear, près de Carlyle en Saskatchewan, le 26 août 1939. Le 4 novembre 1951, deux vitraux commémoratifs supplémentaires furent inaugurés sur chacun des murs latéraux près de l’entrée de la chapelle. Le vitrail de la Résurrection, du côté ouest, honore les membres actifs, et le vitrail de la Nativité, du côté est, honore les anciens membres qui perdirent la vie lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
