Memorial Details What type of memorial is it? Window How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation? As originally installed in the College Hall, on the west side over the Scholars' Table, the memorial was a single stained glass window, with roundels in the tracery at the top, reading from left to right:1899/ V.R.I./ E.R.I/ 1901. The two lights contained the arms, mottoes and names of the fallen, reading clockwise from top left, LEGGE; DuBUISSON; BARTON; CHETWODE. When repositioned, the window was divided into two, one headed with E.R.I, beneath which are the arms, motto and details for Legge. The light to the right is headed with 1901, beneath which are the the Barton arms, motto and details. The exact arrangement of the other window is uncertain, as is the location of the inscriptions at the foot of the two lights. Location Has this memorial been lost?
