About the memorial: Originally a stained glass window (see comments below). In the centre was the crucifixion scene and beneath were the words "Our Saviour died to make men holy: our brethren died to make men free." To the left was an image of St George, with a soldier in service kit, bareheaded, with his shrapnel helmet beside him, and a minister kneeling in adoration of the central figure. Above the head of the saint was a laurel wreath, within which was inscribed "I have fought the good fight." To the right was a similar wreath containing the words "I have finished my course", below which was a figure of St Nicholas, the mariner's patron saint, with a sailor and a Red Cross nurse kneeling, their heads bowed towards the crucifix. The main inscription was along the foot of the window. The nowy-headed tablet comprises marble tiles set in a border of gilded glass tesserae within a frame originally described as carved oak but now cast bronze. The triangular head contains a cross of gilded tesserae within shaped marble tiles bearing painted foliage decoration and the four lines of text are painted across three marble tiles. The names are painted on three columns of marble tiles below the text and the inscription is painted in black upright capital roman lettering. The tablet is inside the Church, on the west wall of the nave.
