How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
Stained glass window of a single light, entitled “The Great Reward” depicting an angel on the right, with a kneeling supplicant looking at him. In the left background is Christ on the cross. The angel is holding back a curtain with his left hand, and revealing a crown of glory in the top right hand corner. The design “has the merit of eulogizing the valiant deeds of the fallen soldier, and at the same time affording consolation to those who mourn his departure".
