Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Yackandandah Holy Trinity Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History
Montgomery sent a series of sketches to Yackandandah that might be suitable for their Soldiers' Memorial. He quoted £50 for a centre light only, FOB (forward on board)Melbourne, which was commissioned in January 1920. The Good Shepherd was chosen as the main subject, with a full list of volunteers and the men who died on active service in the lower section of the window. After installation in August 1920, the window was praised, but errors were discovered in the spelling of some names. Montgomery suggested that, '[t]he only way to remedy matters is to have the panel taken out & sent here to be altered - You will find what we call a 'cut bar' - i.e., a bar dividing the panels, between the names "Bullock" & "Melbourne". If you could get this taken out, & sent here, well packed with straw in a box we would alter & send back at once ....'. The account for £50, forwarded to the Reverend Preece in August 1920, was paid in January 1921, probably only after the errors were remedied and the window reinstated. After more than 90 years the window appears to be buckling at the points where the panel was replaced.
