About the memorial: Chapel of Remembrance created by the removal of several pews on the north side of St George's church. It is now panelled in wood and bordered by a wooden screen. Seats have been provided and it serves as a small chapel for Communion. The chapel houses the Book of Remembrance (memorial 222708) and the Comodore Callister plaque (memorial 222822) as well as various other non war-related memorials. It was unveiled and dedicated in January 1929 and erected by Messrs Jones and Willis, church-furnishers of Liverpool. Isle of Man National Inventory of War Memorials: IOM_NIWM_DOU_00012_4 The RAF funded the extension of the chapel with etching on the glass at one end commemorating lost seafarers, the First and Second World War and an RAF plane crash in 1958. The first panel shows a sailor and the crests of the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy. The second panel shows a sword and a wreath, and the third shows a pilot and RAF squadron insignia
