Additional general notes on the memorial
1. This could be the oldest school in the country.
2. Mr. Phillips was a former teacher in the school.
3. Mr. Phillips’ name was not included on the panelling in the school-see separate report.
4. The window was commissioned by Sidney Robert Ellis Phillips – Art Master and Housemaster of Durham House at the School from 1908 until shortly before his death on 28th September 1948 – together with other members of his family - in memory of his brother who was wounded at Antwerp while serving in the Royal Naval Division, and died at Aachen – presumably as a Prisoner of War.
5. W.G.E. Phillips was an Able Seaman in the Benbow Battalion with a Service Number of London 1/3557 and was the son of Charles and the late Clara Emily Phillips. The 1901 Census shows Charles and William – then aged 11 - living in Paddington, with Charles working as a Barrister’s Clerk. It is probable that, by then, Clara had already died.
6. Strathmore Lodge members are acknowledged as having recorded the story of the window.
7. Horace Wilkinson, who also worked on other windows in the chapel
