Biography contributed

Son of Herbert Edwin CUTTLE and Margaret Anne nee WEATHERLY of Ultima, Victoria, Australia. Gazetted July, 1916. Awarded M.C. in engagement at Butte de Warlencourt (Somme), Nov., 1916. Attached to Royal Scots (9th Div) in the Battle of Arras, 1917, and assisted in working captured enemy guns.

The Cuttle family commissioned three fine stained glass windows as a lasting memorial to their son, George Robin Cuttle, MC.

The memorial windows were dedicated on Saturday 3rd October 1926 by Rt Rev’d M.C. James (the first Bishop of St Arnaud), as part of his opening and dedicating of the new Holy Trinity Church of England, Ultima.

These stained glass windows were recently relocated, with the assistance of the descendants of the Cuttle family and friends to St Peter’s Anglican Church, Robinvale, where they were dedicated by the Rt Rev’d Andrew Curnow (Bishop of Bendigo) on the 8th February 2009.
