This stained glass window is located within Kenmore Parish Church;

On the right hand side there is a memorial to Ian Robert Reekie Macnaughton;

I came up with this on CWGC but his papers are not available online.
Name: MACNAUGHTON
Initials: I R R
Nationality: Canadian
Rank: Lieutenant
Regiment/Service: Canadian Infantry (Quebec Regiment)
Unit Text: 24th Bn.
Date of Death: 26/04/1916
Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead
Grave/Memorial Reference: J. 12.
Cemetery: DICKEBUSCH NEW MILITARY CEMETERY

Now on the other side is a memorial to this mans father - John MacNaughton;

Apologies for the quality. I could not come up with anything for the father so, as yet I haven't posted his individually. I've tried SNWM/CWGC/ and a limited Boer War Search.
I'm assuming his father is a war casualty as his window features a knight and pelican thereon.
Any thoughts or info. would be appreciated on this one.
