Their Name Liveth for Evermore.

Stained glass window of two lights.

The left hand light depicts St. Ebba with St. Columba.

The right hand light shows St. Oswald with St. Bede.

At the bottom are depicted six regimental badges.

The names of the men who fell are cut into the sloping windowsill, using Roman capitals.

Between the dates on the top is a small flag of St. George set in the stone of the sill, made by removing the quarters and painting them white, leaving the cross proud, which has been painted red.

1. It was suggested in the Faculty Notes that the names should be listed in three columns rather than two.
