A NEW book telling the story of Penshurst’s Mervyn ‘Napier’ Waller OBE CMG (1893-1972) and his greatest work, including the mosaics he designed in the Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial, is now available.

Written by journalist and author, Jan William Smith, and released last month by Big Sky Publishing, the book ‘The Glass Cricket Ball’ gets its name from one of the 15 windows designed by Mr Waller for the Hall of Memory called ‘Ancestry’.
