The Windows of Memorial Hall

A perpetual monument
for those who gave their life
for freedom.

Link (from a photo of a Memorial Hall window): Take the Tour.

The 12 stained glass windows of Memorial Hall pay tribute to Canadians who fought - and often died — in such First World War battles as Vimy Ridge. This online presentation showcases the windows that were dedicated "In Honour of Kingston's Sailors, Soldiers, Airmen and Nursing Sisters who served overseas in the Great War - 1914-1918."

With each window is a narrative outlining the impetus for the image depicted. The windows were placed in Memorial Hall in 1921, most of them being donated to the City of Kingston in memory of someone who died in the war.
