Mil Col Badge on stained glass and in RMC's Currie Hall
I wrote a series of articles in e-veritas (RMC Club alumni journal) on stained glass windows e.g. RMC's Yeo Hall and chapels. I am curious about memorial windows featuring Military badges in general, and those featuring Canadian Military College badges in particular. I'm also interested in memorial windows for ex-cadets featuring RMC/CMR/RRMC badges in local communities e.g. churches, schools, war memorials etc. Any of these could be good ideas for follow up stories for e-veritas.

Victoria,
Thank you for posting some beautiful windows. These are examples of the painting technique where the base glass is actually painted with a paint that uses ground glass as the pigment. It is then fired in a kiln to fuse the image. The individual pieces are bound together with strips of lead. Lead, over time, will yield to gravity which is why you see the horizontal lines across the window. These are bars used to reinforce the glass so that it doesn't sag over time. I do recall seeing pictures of memorial glass windows, in the UK I believe. None in the states. If you find more please post. Don

More stained glass windows featuring Mil Col badges
I was asked to submit other stained glass windows featuring Canadian Military College badges. Many of the other stained glass windows at the Canadian Military Colleges feature stylized images of cadets, religious & military symbols, and key College landmarks e.g. Mackenzie building (RMC-Kingston) /Hatley Castle (Royal Roads).

This one is in a Civilian Basilica http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dhh-...g.asp?PID=7839
If you can't use the link, go to "www.forces.gc./ca" - click on "English" - then, under the heading "Sections" click on "History and Heritage" then on "military Memorials NICMM" Just above the heading "Remembering the Sacrifice" you'll see another link that says "Search for a Memorial" which berings you to a drop-down list; select "New Brunswick" and use the link which reads "Miramichi (Chatham)" under the link for Millville" in the second column. You will then see a list of Memorials including # 13007-020 which will bring you to a photo & description of a Regimental Crest donated to the Basilica by Msgr (Major) Raymond Myles Hickey, MC - the Regiment's Padre during WW2. (He earned his Military Cross on Juno Beach!!) Cheers |

From a badge collector's point of view, Currie Hall is extremely interesting as it has all of the badges from The Canadian Corps in The Great War. I was generally more interested in the badges than the people making presentations up front.
