daggers Posted 12 March , 2017 Share Posted 12 March , 2017 (edited) Early last year I posted about the east window in St Barnabas, Penny Lane, Liverpool which is a memorial to the local fallen but found it impossible to post a photo. I have only just found that the Forum now caters for photos of any size and so I will attach one of the window and another of the key which the church conveniently supplied. Daggers EDit - window pic to follow. Edited 12 March , 2017 by daggers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithmroberts Posted 12 March , 2017 Share Posted 12 March , 2017 Interesting date. Is that a typo? I thought I had cornered the marking on them. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggers Posted 13 March , 2017 Share Posted 13 March , 2017 Correct date - the building replaced a 'tin church' nearby, which in turn had replaced one of the same dedication but nearer the city centre. Mark/ing/et??? D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perth Digger Posted 15 June , 2018 Share Posted 15 June , 2018 This window commemorates 2nd Lt Harley Knollys Briggs, who was KIA on 26 July 1916 while serving with B Battery, 166th (Camberwell) Brigade RFA. It is in St Mary's, Capel-le-Ferne, near Folkestone in Kent. It appears that his face is used in the left light. I think it may also be used in the right light, but can't be sure. I have no photo of Briggs, so can't be certain that it is him. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 8 August , 2018 Share Posted 8 August , 2018 On 10/02/2012 at 19:08, basiloxford said: Hello Leo, Tom Smith refers to a man named Thomas Smith, who was born at Wood Street St. Ebbes on the 29th Jan 1898, the son of Walter and Elizabeth Smith. Tom was educated at the local school in St. Ebbes, before gaining employment at the local Co-op. He enlisted in November 1916 at the age of eighteen, joining the ranks of the Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry. Later transferred to the 5th Bn Royal Berkshire Regiment, Tom was killed in action near to Arras on the 27th July 1917, and he's buried at the Monchy British Cemetery, Monchy-le-Preux, France, Grave Ref I.B.22. The youngest of four brothers serving with the BEF, an elder brother Harold, who served with the 1/4th Oxford and Bucks Lt Infantry was killed in action just over two weeks later on 16th August 1917. The name of Dr Alfred Stansfeld is a complete mystery to me at the moment. Strangely its the name of a man named Noel Stansfeld who appears on the St. Ebbes War Memorial, and he was the nephew of the incumbant, John Stansfeld. Barry. Hi - not sure if you are still looking into this but I can share some light on the Stansfeld connection. Canon John Stedwell Stansfeld was my great great uncle. Dr Alfred Stansfeld (his nephew) was my great uncle. However, I do not understand why he is mentioned on the window as he died Nov 25th 1919 in London the flu epidemic. He was a pathologist at Barts. Another great uncle, however, I have just discovered did die in action in 1917 and he is the one mentioned on the nearby war memorial - Noel Fred Stansfeld - half brother to Alfred and again a nephew of Canon John. I don't know why there seems to be a mix up but it's all a bit of a mystery to me. I didn't even know my grandmother had lost a younger brother in the war or why he had a connection with St Ebbe's as he was from London.

David_Underdown Posted 9 August , 2018 Share Posted 9 August , 2018 During the funeral of my uncle alst week I notcied a stained glass window in St James' Church, Bolton, Bradford that was a war memorial, naming the dead of the parish in the bottom light with saints including George above. Due to the circumstances I wasn't able to take a photo, church website is http://www.boltonstjames.org.uk/index.php ut they don't seem to have pictures of any of the glass, though the window is I think the second from left on the nave visible in the main photo of the church.

Perth Digger Posted 31 March , 2019 Share Posted 31 March , 2019 Beautiful windows (and photos), deacs. Thanks. Interesting that both are for Imperial troops and both ORs, reflecting migration pre-war from the area? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perth Digger Posted 2 April , 2019 Share Posted 2 April , 2019 Metcalf's NZ service record is available on-line, Mark. He attested on 12 December 1914 as a self-employed farmer in Stratford, Taranaki. Born Whitehaven 30 August 1889, his father, in 1891, was a grocer's assistant, although well off enough to employ a servant. Metcalf landed at Gallipoli on 9 May 1915, invalided to Malta via 16 CCS from 16 August 1915. Wounded 16 September 1916, DOW on the 17th in 45 CCS.

Perth Digger Posted 20 April , 2019 Share Posted 20 April , 2019 Captain Samuel Murray Carson, ASC, died 20 April 1917 in Canterbury, aged 52. Did not serve overseas, but began his military career with the Tower Hamlets Volunteers in the 1890s. He was a well-known actor, playwright, theatrical manager and Freemason, married to an actress. The window is, appropriately, in the Church of St Thomas, Canterbury. He is on CWGC, buried in Canterbury Cemetery. His service record is PRO WO 339/11024, but I don't have access to it.

bargingalong Posted 21 December , 2019 Share Posted 21 December , 2019 I came to this thread after Googling St Elizabeth's RC Church, Scarisbrick and being taken to page 12 of this thread. I visited this church this morning to take a photograph of the single entry (WMR 18682) on the IWM's War Memorials Register. I spotted a window which was not recorded (it is now - WMR 87367), but failed to spot the one mentioned above - so I'll be back! However, I have recorded many in the area not featured in this thread. Their IWM Register nos. are: 62530, St David Haigh; 56089, St Philip's School, Hindley; 15715, St Andrew Maghull; 85560, Blundell, Boer War, St Cuthbert Halsall; 3296, Christ Church, Charnock Richard; 56119, Our Lady Immaculate, Downall Green; 45356, St Mark Newtown; 86214, Park Lane Unitarian, Bryn; 27897, St Matthew Highfield; 86882, St James & St Elizabeth, Bickershaw; 45432, St George Wigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
