Description
Large framed parchment attached to a white mounting board by cloth tabs. The inscription is hand-written in various colours - the main title being in gold, the names in black and the conflict and ranks in red. The Brigade is also commemorated in a stained glass window in the Cathedral Cloisters (WMR 105342), in which reference is made to the names of the Brigade's fallen being 'in an Aumry in this Cathedral' - perhaps the original location of this parchment.
