BEHIND THE SOLDIER IS ST GEORGE, SHELTERING THE SOLDIER BENEATH HIS BANNER WHILE AN ANGEL PRAYS. ANOTHER ANGEL KNEELS AT THE SOLDIERS FEET POINTING IN SORROW AT THE EXTENT OF THE DESTRUCTION.
FLANKING THE FIGURE OF THE SOLDIER ARE THE BATTLE HONOURS OF THE CORPS ALONG WITH THE FOUR ARMS OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, WALES AND IRELAND, EACH SURMOUNTED BY A ROYAL CROWN.
