    Memorial Window Description & History

    Stained Glass Window at Mentone St. Augustine's Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History

    St. Alban, first English martyr, was an appropriate choice of subject for a First World War memorial and Brooks, Robinson produced several versions for churches in the post-war period. The window was unveiled during a service on Sunday 16 December 1917 with 61 names inscribed. The window now has 70 names, suggesting that a supplementary group was added after the cessation of hostilies. During his sermon the Reverend WR Cooling paid tribute to 'the heroism and devotion of our soldiers' especially those who 'laid down their lives' and made a stirring appeal for reinforcements for the Australian men at the front.

    The dedication included the following names: G.W. Akerman A.R.G. Anderson+ F.E. Ashton+ H.V. Bignell J.W. Bignell F. Bird+ E.J. Caldwell G. Caulfield W.S. Caulfield+ E.C. Chenny L.P. Cowen+ R.C.
