Clock-Face Sint-Laurent Church Kemmel

Text on the plate: "This clock-face was taken away from Kemmel as a war trophy in 1918 by the Canadian Armed Forces.
On the initiative of Mister Daniel Glenney of the Canadian War Museum of Toronto and with the mediation of Brigadier General Danu Van de Ven, Defense Attaché for Belgium in the United States Of America and Canada, it was given back to the Saint Laurent church of Kemmel.
The restitution-ceremony was held on 8 September 2003."
