The Ruapuna Church war memorial is a stained glass window dedicated to the memory of just one soldier, Private Oliver Jesse Baxter, who was killed at Messines in 1917. The window was installed by his brothers, Earnest and Douglas.
The top panels of the window contain a Christian cross, an anchor, and the symbols for Alpha and Omega (the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet). The lower panels contain a representation of Jesus Christ and the personification of Lady Justice.
