About the memorial: The two plaques list the names of those commemorated by the South Window This memorial compromises a multi-lighted stained glass window with two dedicatory plaques placed beside the organ on the wall to the right of the chancel. In the upper range of the lights are scenes from 'The Pilgrim's Progress'. In the lights below is a depiction of Sir Galahad's quest of the Holy Grail. Interstices of the stonework contain regimental badges including those of the Hampshire, Dorset, and Royal Artillery. Surmounting it all is a representation of the crowned Christ. The memorial forms the south window of at the back of the nave in Richmond Hill United Reformed Church. Those used to the idea that the altar is at the east of the church may be a little confused as here the church is orientated north-south not east-west so the memorial window is the souith window even though it faces the altar.
