Memorial Details
What type of memorial is it?
How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
A three-light, services window commemorating all alumni of the school who served in the Armed Forces. In frosted glass, in the central light it depicts a soldier, carrying a weapon walking across a ploughed field, a helmet at his feet with a Spitfire above him in the sky. The right hand light depicts a red poppy and a naval warship: the left hand light appears to show a plough and a modern jet fighter in the sky making a vapour trail. Sand dunes are in the background of all three lights.
