In March 1942 the Hobart Mercury included a photo of workmen loading the entire window frame onto a truck with the caption: “The stained glass windows of St. George’s Church of England are being removed to a safer place as a precaution against possible air raids” [11] A close inspection of the newspaper picture shows that there are ten panes deep and five wide in the frame of the window, which exactly matches the number of panes seen in the chancel window as at 2012.
