    Memorial Window Description & History

    Stained Glass Window at Corio Geelong Grammar School All Saints' Anglican Chapel - Memorial Window Description & History

    Christian and Napier Waller were responsible for designing the majority of Second World War windows for Geelong Grammar School's Chapel of All Saints'. The series of small, monochromatic aisle windows might be overlooked by the casual visitor, as the magnificent nave windows dominate the space but, despite their size and simplicity, they are among their finest works. Designs by Christian Waller may have beentranslated into glassby both Christian and Napier. The memorial, Australia, used a restricted palette of green on white glass, allowing the two tiny flames of red to stand out. Although the figure representing the Australian hero is diminutive, he has all the presence of the larger figures that Napier Waller created for the Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra.
