It was presented by Lt.-Taylor, second in command of the 77th Battalion on behalf of the men of the unit who have sued that church freely since the mobilization of the battalion here. The tablet is located at the right hand side of the nave and is made of brass. It bears the inscription that it was presented by the members of the battalion who had worshipped in Christ Church during the seven months of the regiment was in training here. Rev. Archdeacon Mackay in his sermon referred to the splendid record of the whole battalion. When the men of the 77th returned he thought the tablet would be a splendid reminder of the noble way they had responded to the call of King and Country. While absent it would remind the congregation of the brave members of the 77th and what a fine work they were doing. [end clipping] [start clipping] Officers Selected.
