Memorial Window unveiled at St. Barnabas

At the evening service in St.Barnabas’ Church, Newcastle, yesterday, a memorial window was unveiled by Major. E.C. Burnup, R.E., in memory of Engineer-Lieut. John Brown, R.N.R. and his son, Private John Brown, late of the 15th Royal Scot. During his sermon, the Vicar, Rev. Alfred Thomas, made reference to the loss sustained by the Parish. Engineer Lieut. Brown, who had lost his life in H.M.S. “Stephen Furness”, was, he said, a worthy son of a a worthy sire, a faithful husband and a fond father. The younger member of the church had grown into a splendid fellow, and particularly his association with the Sunday School, boys’ brigade, and band of hope, were remembered. He had been a pride to his mother, and a magnificent means of support. He felt deep condolence with Mrs. Brown and the father and relatives of the late members. He urged his congregation to buckle on fresh armour in the warfare of God: the rebuilding of a new world under the great Master-Builder, Christ; to make a better country and repair the breaking hearts, blasted lives and scattered homes.”

N.B. The son died on 22 Oct.1917 and the father died on 13th December 1917.

Both father and son are remembered in Jesmond on J1.42 and in Heaton on H91.05 and H91.41 and the father is named on our List of Ships’ crews
