Memorial Details

Window
How would you describe the memorial and its ornamentation?
A narrow arched stained glass window in St Peter's Chapel in the church. The bottom right hand light of the window contains names but these do not appear to be a War Memorial. At the bottom of the left-hand light is the name of a serviceman killed in action in 1951 and hence deemed to be a War Memorial. All of the inscription is formed in black upper-case lettering.
