    Memorial Window Description & History

    Stained Glass Window at Mildura St. Margaret's Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History

    St. Margaret's Anglican Church, Mildura was built in several programs and memorial windows also installed in at least two separate cycles. When the stone church was enlarged to plans by Melbourne Anglican Diocesan architect Louis R. Williams in the 1930s, Canon Horner arranged in 1933 for Brooks, Robinson & Co. to prepare designs for east window of the sanctuary. Several more windows were installed during 1959 by Archdeacon Hardingham, the last being the Crucifixion in 1960. The Warrior's Chapel was added around the early 1960s and the remains of Archdeacon James Hardingham were interred under its floor in 1962.

    Melbourne stained glass artist John Ferguson (1923-2010) prepared a series of windows that symbolised service and sacrifice, in keeping with the object of the sacred space.

    Philip Crump was born on 16 April 1921 at Devon, England, son of Bertram and Bessie Crump. He enlisted at Mildura on 9 July 1941, aged 20. After a period of training in the Middle East Private Crump joined 2/24 Battalion on 31 December 1941. After the battalion endured an intense period in the critical El Alamein battle Crump was killed in action on 31 October 1942 and buried in the field at El Eisa, and then later at El Alamein War Cemetery, Egypt.
