Description
Wooden shrine set at the end of the cloisters that lead to the College Chapel. The shrine is of Christ, two angels and two kneeling figures (one a knight) in relief. The cloisters are lined with oak panelling and have a black and white tiled floor: the whole is set behind black painted railings and grillwork. There is a stone tablet set outside above the grillwork that carries the inscription and the panelling within carries the names as well as the College coat of arms. The roof has the Arms of the countries which were the chief scenes of fighting. There is a Book of Remembrance which is IWM 60019 in this location as well.
