The
Window of wonder
|
A new
stained glass window dedicated to the RAN Health Service (pictured
above) personnel is to be installed at St Mark’s Anglican Chapel,
HMAS Cerberus.
A dedication to the people who have served in the Naval Health Services
over the past 100 years, the window will complement other stained
glass works of art already in place at the chapel.
“St Mark’s is the largest and most pronounced memorial
chapel the navy has. It is a military non- denominational chapel
with dozens of stunning windows,” said St Mark’s Chaplain
Graeme Watkinson.
Some of these windows include HMAS Sydney, a lead glass, stained
window donated by the citizens of Sydney, The Last Supper, a gift
from HMAS Cerberus to commemorate WWI and four windows of Christ
Stilling the Storm, donated by the Navy League of Victoria.
The latest window, approximately 120 cm x 60 cm, was designed, crafted
and donated by CDRE Dacre Smyth, a former CO of Cerberus now retired.
The dedication at St Mark’s Chapel, HMAS Cerberus, will be
on December 1 at 10am (to be confirmed).
