Scotch College Memorial WindowPrint Page

The stained glass window was erected in memory of former students of the school who died in service or were killed in action during World War Two. 

A War Memorial Appeal was officially launched at a public meeting at the Hawthorn Town Hall and, as well as the window for the west wall of the chapel, included funds to improve the Memorial Hall and add their names to the Honour Roll. David Taylor Kellock was commissioned by the chapel's architect, John FD Scarborough, to design the window. The design represented sacrifice and the three figures depicted the army (Joshua the warrior), the navy (Christ walking the waves) and the air force (Elijah), with the badges of each force in base panels. It was dedicated by the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, the Rt. Rev. JE Owen on 1 October 1951 in the presence of many of the relatives of the men.
