    Memorial Window Description & History

    Stained Glass Window at Parkville Trinity College Anglican Chapel - Memorial Window Description & History

    The Miller memorial was the first for the chapel to be ordered from J. Dudley Forsyth of Hampstead, London, by Mrs. Albert Miller, mother of Captain Miller. Forsyth was later asked to prepare designs for the whole Chapel scheme, which he did, in expectation of the majority of windows being war memorials. It seemed that his slowness in completing the first two commissions may have contributed to further orders being placed with local Melbourne firm, Brooks, Robinson & Co.

    Albert Guy Miller was educated at Melbourne Church of England Grammar School before attending the Medical School at the University of Melbourne; he graduated in 1910. Shortly after the outbreak of war, he proceeded to England and joined the Royal Army Medical Corps and was attached to 12 Battalion Middlesex Regiment. Captain Miller was killed in action at Fricourt in France on 29 December 1915, and was buried at Meaulte Military Cemetery.
