Additional general notes on the memorial
This record was originally entitled 'Irish Bravery' and was described as a lost set of WW1 commemorative emblematic windows, no description or other details known, unveiled by the Mayor of Southwark on 26th June 1921, as reported in the South London Press of 1st July 1921. Information received from the Archives of St.George's Cathedral in July 2024 has revealed that this was a set of four windows of which two survive, plus other details now set out in the amended record, plus a further contemporary reference, i.e. the 2nd July 1921 edition of The Tablet. Regarding the record title, this appears to have been a misunderstanding of the South London Press article: this had a heading "Tribute to Irish Bravery", but this was a reference to part of the sermon preached by Monsignor Brown at the unveiling rather than to the memorial itself. The article in the Tablet also refers to this aspect of the sermon, stating that Monsignor Brown referred to "the part that Catholics, mostly Munsters, led by a heroic priest, had played at Gallipoli".
