South Australia. Daw Park Repatriation General Hospital Memorial Chapel stained glass window: Dr Ernest 'Weary' Dunlop
The medical staff of RGH, Daw Park donated the window depicting the selfless efforts of Dr Ernest 'Weary' Dunlop during World War II.
The window shows Dr Dunlop attending to an emaciated cholera victim under a makeshift bamboo shelter in a Japanese work prison. Dr Dunlop (later to become Sir Ernest Dunlop) and his medical colleagues were most innovative in fashioning the means by which to deliver sterile intravenous fluids in harsh environments and it is from such examples that the medical staff of RGH, Daw Park draw inspiration.
Nowhere in the history of warfare has there been a medical warrior such as 'Weary' Dunlop and, for this, he and his memory are saluted.
The word DEDICATION at the base of the window characterises the medical staff's approach to caring for veterans.
This window was originally dedicated on 18 October 1991.
*Created by Cedar Prest, stained glass artist.
The Memorial Chapel located within the grounds of the Repatriation Hospital commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. The windows are all stained glass. Mounted on the walls are many and various plaques and unit insignias.
The chapel has been in continuous use and is available for services of any denomination. The pews are reversible – for Roman Catholic services held at the western end and other services at the eastern end.
It is also used for marriages and funerals.
The Mail of 25 June 1949 reported the chapel's first christening would be held the next day, when Padre H. Shepherd would christen Pamela Anne Turvey, daughter of ex-Flying Officer C. J. Turvey and Mrs. Turvey, of Semaphore. Mrs. Turvey was formerly WAAAF Lorraine Caudle, of Prospect. Matron Morphett arranged the chapel decorations. After the ceremony there was a small party at Daws House at the hospital.
