Description
Memorial screen in the form of a single light square headed stained glass window. In the centre is depicted St.George slaying the dragon with a scroll bearing the words "Quo Fata Vocant" (the badge and motto of the Northumberland Fusiliers). To the left and right are painted rolls of names in the form of scrolls with yellow backgrounds, with the names written in black Roman capitals. Each of the scrolls is depicted as hanging from a stylised laurel wreath. Along the bottom of the window are the names of battles in four columns, with a shield bearing a St.George's cross in the centre between the second and third columns.
