Private Fred Bassett & Gunner John Gordon Print Page 
The stained glass window was erected by Sunday School students and friends in the Church and Choir to commemorate Private Fred Farmer Bassett who died on the 10th March 1917 and Gunner John Vivian Gordon who was killed in action at Messines on the 24th June 1917.
A new stained glass memorial window showing St. Michael weighing the souls of men in the balance will be unveiled at All Souls' Church, St. Peters, tomorrow afternoon. It is of exquisite workmanship, and is by Morris & Co., of London. It is the gift of the Sunday school and friends, and is in memory of two former Sunday schoolteachers, Ptes. F. F. Bassett and John V. Gordon, who were killed in the great war. The new window occupies a position over the south door, where its subdued colors will blend beautifully with other windows by the same makers. The ceremony will be performed at 3 o'clock by Mr. H. K. Wendt. Major O. V. Hoad (State Commandant) has given permission for military uniforms to be worn.
