Scott Creek Soldiers' Memorial Hall stained glass window placed in 2015. South Australia

            This hall was opened in 1921 by Herbert Hudd MP, an officer of the 43rd Battalion who had been awarded the Military Cross.
The land was given by John Captain Hill.
Substantial additions and alterations have occurred over the years, with a stained glass window panel being added in 2015.
The hall is a lasting memorial to Scott Creek, Bradbury and Longwood soldiers in all wars.

Stained Glass Window 
This stained glass panel commemorates those local members of the Australian Defence Forces who died or were injured during the First World War and in consequent conflicts. Returnees who worked so hard to build the community are also remembered.
The Design is a central arch of “Remembrance and Respect” topped by the rising Sun badge flanked each side by a single poppy in the centre of a cross. The Kookaburra beneath the archway is the Scott Creek Primary School’s emblem. The school’s original stone building next to the hall was built, in part, by either the men themselves or by relatives of those who served.
The line work beneath the arch represents the 1880 land divisions of the 20 acre “Working Men’s Blocks”, some of which were made available to ex-servicemen from the Great War as part of the Soldier Settlement Scheme. 

The lower background design depicts previous silver mining which occurred at the nearby Almanda Mine. A local flower, the Golden Pennant, is included with other floral aspects to symbolise the ongoing environmental importance of the area represented by several conservation parks.

Funding for this panel was generously provided by the Commonwealth Government through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs ANZAC Centenary Grants Program.

The Glass Foundry at Stirling undertook the design, construction and installation of this panel.
