Description / Background

Three stained glass windows are located inside the bell tower alcove of St Andrew's Presbyterian War Memorial Church, Leeton. Each window depicts a full-sized religious figure within a Biblical scene. At the base of each window is the inscription, dedicated to those who made the Supreme Sacrifice in the First and Second World Wars. Above the inscriptions are the insiginas of the three service branches, the Army, Royal Australian Air Force (R.A.A.F.) and Navy, one per window.

Hanging on the same wall as the windows are two honour rolls. One commemorates the First World War and the other commemorates both the First and Second World Wars.
