Etobicoke Temple Dedicates Refurbished War Memorial

To mark the end of the First World War, many corps across Canada dedicated memorials to their fallen soldiers and those who returned home. In 1920, Toronto’s Dovercourt Citadel erected a new pulpit to honour the corps’ 57 people who had served, including three who had made the ultimate sacrifice. A similar memorial was added following the Second World War and both were displayed at Etobicoke Temple from 1969 until they were retired to The Salvation Army Archives in 2014.
In November 2015, a new memorial was dedicated at Etobicoke Temple by Major Kester Trim, CO, that incorporates the refurbished pulpit, the names from the original two memorials and the names of those who served in the military and attended the corps in the intervening years. JoAnne Gilroy, daughter of the late Jeanne and Adrian Van Raalte of Etobicoke Temple, was present for the occasion. Adrian Van Raalte served with the Dutch Resistance throughout the Second World War.
