The window was presented to the Memorial Library on its opening in 1950 by Mrs. Alan Gentles, sister of H.G. Stone, a naval officer who died in 1918. The window was commissioned by their parents and is inscribed "To the memory of Lieut. Horace Gordon Stone, only son of Henry A. and Beatrice H. Stone of this city, who died on Active Service December 15, 1918." It is a reproduction of Sir Frank Dicksee's painting "HARMONY" which hangs in the Tate Gallery in London. Executed in 1931 by well-known master craftsman John Henry Dearie of the London firm of Morris & Co., the window faithfully reproduces the vivid colouring of the original and is considered to be stained glass work of the very highest quality. Prior to World War II the window graced the north wall of the Vancouver Art Gallery on Georgia Street. Having been returned to the Stone family after the war, it was placed in the shrine of the newly constructed Memorial Library building in 1950. When the Library was expanded (for the third time) in 1976, the window was moved to the tower facing the Cenotaph across Marine Drive where it remained until this latest expansion. Once again it occupies a central position in the original portion of the building, a most striking feature of the community's memorial to its casualties in two world wars.
