St John`s Anglican Church War MemorialPrint Page
The stained glass window, featuring Saint Mark and Saint George, commemorates those who died in service or were killed in action during World War One.
A beautiful memorial window was unveiled and dedicated by the Rev. Padre Cecil J. King. M.A., Chaplain A.I.F., Menangle, on Armistice Sunday at St. John's Church of England, Camden. Rev. T. G. Paul, M.C., was the preacher. The window, which was executed by the Sydney artist, Alfred C. Handel, is wonderfully coloured. On the left panel are the words "St. Mark's Day, 1915," over the figure of St. Mark, who has a just claim to be called Australia's patron saint, as St. Mark's Day— April 25th— coincides with ANZAC Day. Also on this panel is Australia's national flower— a waratah— and the words : "Greater love hath no man than this."

SAINT MARK`S DAY
1915
SAINT MARK SAINT GEORGE
hallowed in Christ be the memory of those who died the death of honour for the freedom of the World
they shall grow not old as we that are left grow old
age shall not weary them nor the years condemn
at the going down of the sun and in the morning
we will remember them
(across both windows)
