TOPIC:

This week, I've come across two Tiffany windows which commemorate ABW soldiers, and oddly, neither of them seems to have been recorded as ABW memorials, despite descriptions of them being online.. The one I 'found' and photographed on Tuesday last is in St Cuthbert's Church, Edinburgh, and is dedicated to William Victor St. Clair McLaren, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders.

That led to my finding the second one online, which is in memory of Percy Forbes-Leith, 1st Dragoons, in Fyvie Kirk, north of Aberdeen, and if the Kirk takes part in Doors Open Day this year (it did last year), I'll try to go there in September.

Both windows would have been made in New York, then shipped over to Scotland.

I have never heard of "Tiffany windows"! Were they widely used as memorials?
From Palmer:
2nd. Lt. W.V.McLaren, 1st A&SH, died of syncope from exposure at Pretoria, 26/7/00. Born 5/1877, entered his Regt. from the militia, 3/6/1899. To SA 10/99. With the Kimberley relief force and then on to Bloemfontein and Pretoria.
2nd Lt. P. Forbes-Leith, 1st Royal Dragoons, died 31/12/00 at Newcastle, Natal, from a relapse after enteric. Born 3/1881 and entered his Regt. 2/1900.

They don't seem to be, certainly not in the UK, probably because of the cost - they were all made in the New York studios. Apparently, only one church in England has a Tiffany window, and it's not a war memorial.

I can find one in the University of Alabama, commemorating students who served in the Confederate cause.

So for there to be two such windows in Scotland, both ABW commemorations, is pretty special.
