Memorial Window Description & History
Stained Glass Window at Bendigo View Hill Fellowship [formerly All Saints'] Anglican Church - Memorial Window Description & History
The unusually-shaped window, an arched triangle, was ordered by the Reverend Lee from Brooks, Robinson & Co. in the latter half of 1959 and completed in time for the dedication by the Bishop of Bendigo, Ronald Richards on 24 April 1960. The original subject chosen was St. George slaying the dragon but this was changed before the order was formally placed. The three-quarter length figure of Christ the Good Shepherd was superimposed against a cross and the Alpha and Omega symbols mark the lower corners of the triangular shape. This is one of few windows dedicated to men and women who served in the Korean War although no record of the names of those who served in the Korean War are listed on an honour roll in the church. Many of the hand-carved pews are dedicated to men who died in the Second World War.
Among those members of the congregation who lost their lives in World War II were Charles B. (Carl) Vahland, killed in action in Malaya on 19 January 1942; John Henderson Butt, son of the Vestryman and Secretary, missing in action at Rabaul in the same year; Captain Peter Hayman MC, son of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Hayman, killed in action in Libya, July 1942; and Flight Sergeant John F. Mueller, a former choir boy, who was killed in action 1 December 1942. Chaplain CH Patmore, originally from the Diocese of Bendigo and posted to the 2/21 Battalion in 1940, was captured on 2 February 1942 and killed while a POW on Ambon on 15 February 1942.
