Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Bulla St. Mary's Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History
His Grace the Archbishop of Melbourne, Dr. Harrington Lees, dedicated nine windows on 7June 1922, three of which were in memory of young men who had died on active service. All three had been in camp at Broadmeadows before sailing to Europe. In 1922, the church stood on its original site on the corner of Oaklands and Bulla but was threatened by the development of Tullamarine airport and moved to its present site in 1973, reopening on 24 November 1974.
One of the three windows was dedicated to Ernest James Tate, self-described as 'bushman', who was at Helena Vale, Western Australia when he enlisted on 15 October 1914, but his home was at Diggers Rest, not far from Bulla in Victoria. He joined 16 battalion AIF and proceeded to Gallipoli where he was slightly wounded on 29 April 1915. He was reported missing after the attack on Dead Man's Ridge 'between Pope's Post and Quinn's Post' on 2 May 1915. The battalion suffered severe casualities in the battle and a witness later reported that Tate fell right on the Turkish trenches. His body was not recovered. He is remembered at the Lone Pine Memorial, Turkey.
