About the memorial: Nowy headed brass plaque mounted onto a wooden backboard with an additional plaque on the main board. The main plaque has the Badge of the Leeds Rifles with the Battle Honour South Africa 1900 - 02 on a motto ribbon below the badge. A border of oak leaves and acorns surrounds the whole with various Battle Honours over the border. Below is another board with three additional plaques with unveiling details and WW2 dedicatory inscriptions. It is high on the wall in the north west corner of the nave (behind the cafe area), so is hard to photograph adequately.
