    Memorial Window Description & History

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

    Louis R. Williams, architect of the second stage of All Saints' Chapel, often pierced expanses of brick walls with vesica-shaped openings, sometimes above above doorways as in this instance, or in buttresses across ambulatories, as he did later at Bathurst Cathedral. The memorial to Captain Kiddle was a symbolic representation of the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, placed centrally in a cross-shaped opening. The outer sections of the vesica had tongues of fire that filled the tracery openings. The plaque below the window was carved by Ludwig Hirshfeld Mack (1893-1965), art teacher at the School from 1942-57. Members of Captain Kiddle's battalion attended the unveiling of the window.

    Richard Halliday Kiddle was born on 21 May 1904, only son of Marion and Richard Kiddle of 'Killara', Stawell. He sailed in April 1941 and saw service in Palestine, Egypt and Libya with the 2/6th Infantry Battalion. Captain Kiddle was killed in action at Bardia on the Libyan border with Egypt, on 3 January 1941. He was buried at Halfaya Sollum War Cemetery, Egypt.
