Stained Glass Window at Leopold St. Mark's Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History
In January 1919, the Vicar of St. Mark's, the Reverend T Quinton, reported that the new chancel and renovations to the church were progressing and that subscriptions were already flowing in for the planned soldiers' memorial. The Archbishop of Melbourne granted a Faculty in April the same year and it wasexpected that the church wouldreopen and the memorial window would be unveiled on Easter Day. The window's subject was descibed as a 'life-sized soldier, clad in armour', with names of the men inscribed on the window, which cost £50. The Knight was placed against a diamond quarry background with the laurel wreath and Crown of Life in the arch of the window. The names below were in four segments: the two upper panels with the names of volunteers from the parish and those men who made the 'supreme sacrifice' in the two lower sections. Names from the Parish as follows: 'S.J.H. Ash. A.H. Ash. R. Brame. C. Barker. O. Cain. W. Collins. H. Dickson. J. Davis. W. Dale. R.A. Howard. W. Jinks, M.M. H. Lewis. Jonas Miles. C. Maxwell. E.
