Holy Advent Church War Memorial WindowPrint Page

The five light stained glass window commemorates those connected with the former Holy Advent church who served in World War One.

At the Church of the Holy Advent, Kooyong road, Malvern, last Sunday afternoon, a war memorial window, erected by the parishioners in honour of 120 volunteers from the parish who had served in the late war, was unveiled and dedicated by Bishop Green. There was a large congregation, and the Vicar (the Rev. E.J. H. White), the Rev. H. B. Hewett, and the Rev. E. B. Fethers, assisted in the service. The window consists of five panels. The three central panels represent the Second Coming of Our Lord, and the other two Abraham offering up Isaac, and John the Baptist rebuking King Herod. Bishop Green spoke of the way in which the war had proved that the British race was not decadent, and also on the value of church memorials. The window was painted and designed by Mr. Montgomery, and the frame was designed by Mr. G. Bastings, a volunteer from the parish, after his return from the war. It is intended to add a brass plate to the memorial, containing the names of the volunteers, and this will be dedicated on Easter Day.
