Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Crib Point Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Chapel - Memorial Window Description & History
The Chapel of Our Lady Star of the Sea was designed by PJ O'Connor and Brophy and built by WA Medbury as a memorial to 'those men of the Royal Australian Navy who gave their lives in World War I and II'. The Foundation stone was blessed the Melbourne's Archbishop, the Most Rev. D. Mannix DD, LLD, on 6 October 1946. The builder ordered windows from Brooks, Robinson & Co. in March 1948, most to be made of 'amber quarries with a green outside border and a ruby inner border' with emblems inset, as was the case for this group in the north nave that each measured approximately 63 x 19 inches.
HMAS Armidale was an Australian-built Minesweeper, commissioned in Sydney on 11 June 1942. Initially used as an escort vessel she was ordered to join the 24 Minesweeping Flotilla at Darwin. While en route to Betano, the ship was attacked several times without damage, but early on 1 December 1942 the ship wasstrafed by a number of Japanese planes and, after hits by two torpedoes, sank in a matter of minutes. Out of a total of 83 naval personnel, comprising five officers and 78 ratings, 40 (two officers and 38 ratings) lost their lives. A total of 60 Netherlands East Indies personnel on board were also lost.
