Description & History

At the conclusion of the Second World War the congregation of the Kew Presbyterian Church decided to place two stained glass memorial windows behind the pulpit and from 1946 the congregation subscribed to fund the memorial. The unveiling and dedication of the 'Memorial Window for men who Served and Fell in the War' was held on Sunday 27 1948, when the preacher was Chaplain-General Rev. A.H. Stewart at a service conducted by the Rev. Watkins.
