The scene, which extends across both windows, features five people representing each of the armed forces standing on a cliff in the foreground overlooking the sea. In the first window (1939), a tank on land, a ship in the sea and two planes in the sky represent the beginning of the war. The clouds in this window are large, dark and ominous. In the second window (1945), a small boy wearing a hat and shirts stands separate from the group of servicepeople, he holds a teddy in one hand and waves an Australian flag in the other. The clouds are smaller and paler and a white dove with an olive branch in its beak flies in the sky to represent peace, hope and new beginnings.On the left window: (across the top) 1939 and (across the bottom) AUSTRALIA REMEMBERS 1945-1995 On the right window: (across the top) 1945 and (across the bottom) AUSTRALIA REMEMBERS 1945-1995 Accompanying the windows is a brass plaque: TO COMMEMORATE THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF VJ DAY, THESE WINDOWS WERE DONATED BY THE LEONGATHA SUB-BRANCH, RETURNED & SRVICES LEAGUE AND THE SOUTH GIPPSLAND SHIRE COUNCIL.
