Object description
image: A triptych depicting a religious service at a memorial. The memorial itself, a large wooden cross on a stone
plinth, is in the centre foreground. The vicar conducting the service and three officers, one from each of the British armed forces, stand
immediately around the memorial and a drum is placed directly in front of it. A British soldier holding a Union Jack on a flagpole stands
directly behind it. A square of British soldiers surrounds the memorial, with lines of Royal Navy sailors to the left and RAF personnel to
the right. There is a church spire in both the left and right sections of the piece. Officers of all the British armed forces stand in the
foreground to the left and right.
