According to the Smethwick Telephone on 15th March 1919
"MEMORIAL TO A SOLDIER-PRIEST
There is a proposal to place in Holy Trinity Church a memorial to the Rev George E Craven, MA, who ministered in the Church and who gave his life in the great war. The rev, gentleman was educated at Durham School and Queen's College, Oxford, and the whole of his ministerial life was spent at Holy Trinity till military service took him to the camp, and then to the battlefield. He was Chaplain to the Forces, attached to the Rifle Brigade, and died at Salonica on December 7th last."
Smethwick Telephone on 14th June 1919
"Only about GBP10 is now required for the memorial to the late Rev George E Craven, MA, CF, who was at Holy Trinity Church 1914 - 1917, and then served as Chaplain to the Forces. It is proposed to place a stained glass window in the Church. Mr Craven was Chaplain to the 10th Battalion Rifle Brigade and died in Salonica on December 7th last."
I haven't been able to contact anyone at the church to request a photo and wondered if a kind soul could find out if the window was, in fact, donated AND please take a pic for me?
Many thanks
