Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Camberwell Trinity Presbyterian Church - Memorial Window Description & History
Stained glass artist, William Montgomery, acknowledged the verbal instructions from the church secretary, Mr. Forman, to proceed with the Soldiers' Memorial window 'according to design, approved by the Board of Management for the sum of two hundred and sixty pounds ten shillings £262.10.0 fixed in church'. The final cost of the window was £359, raised by the congregation. As was often the practice, the memorial was unveiled by a senior member of the military, in this instance by Major-General Elliott. Below the three armoured figures and placed centrally is the badge of the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces, with emblems of the crown, rising sun and laurel wreath prominently displayed. The Crown of Victory, held aloft by two angels, was placed above the head of the central warrior.
