War Memorials Online: https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/78853/ [accessed 01 July 2026] says: "Three light west window with the lights depicting St Mark, This church was demolished in 2007 and replaced by a modern building in 2009. What happened to the window?" It seems to suggest it has been lost. I could not find any further information about its existence (including asking Microsoft Co-Pilot, which could find nothing definitive).
This memorial (the glass window) also refers to a "Book of Remembrance". The same link as above has a separate entry for that book - WMO/293164 (and suggests that might also have been lost)
This site seems to be referring to the closure of St Mark's Church in 2005 and demolition in 2007: https://olddevonport.uk/Saint%20Mark%20the%20Evangelist%20(Anglican%20Church%20of).htm [accessed 1 July 2026 - NB: the home page for this site now says "Closed" so it might not exist for much longer]. Interestingly, it says towards the end: "The memorial 'To the memory of these who gave their lives in the war' has been recovered and moved to Stoke Damerel Church, the Mother Church of Devonport, where it was dedicated on Sunday July 30th 2006 at 11am. " This might be referring to the Book of Remembrance as the inscription does not match the window.
