    Memorial Window Description & History

    Stained Glass Window at Camberwell St. Mark's Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History

    The figure of the young pilot officer was paired with St. Andrew, and realised in a life-like portrait by the stained glass artist Christian Waller. He was depicted in full flying suit of the RAF. The vicar of St. Mark's Church, the Reverend PW Robinson, had no hesitation in adding the window to the ambulatory leading to the Warriors' Chapel, which was dedicated to 'the noble army of martyrs', believing that any of the boys who gave their lives in the present war could lay claim to the title of 'martyr'. The window was unveiled by Professor Agar and dedicated by the vicar at a ceremony on 11 February 1944.

    Pilot-Officer Andrew Seton Campbell, the son Dr. Frederick H and Mrs. Campbell of Victoria Road, Upper Hawthorn, was educated at Melbourne Grammar School. He enlisted on 20 December 1940, which was his 18th birthday. He was killed when the Boston bomber BZ 385, piloted by Civilian Captain KW Quayle, crashed shortly after take-off from Labrador on a delivery flight to Britain. Also killed with the pilot and Flight Officer Seton Campbell was the civilian radio operator, Mr. A Befus. They were all buried in the Goose Bay Joint Services Cemetery, Labrador, Canada.
