This two-light window, installed shortly after the First World War (1919–1920), commemorates the men of the parish who died in the conflict.

A plaque beneath records:

“To the Glory of God and in memory of the gallant men of this Parish who gave their lives for King and Country in the Great War 1914–1918.”

Left Light

A dying soldier, supported by a sailor, lies upon the battlefield. The landscape behind suggests open countryside scarred by war. The sailor’s posture conveys grief and tenderness; the soldier’s gaze is lifted upward.

The scene humanises sacrifice — comradeship at the moment of death.

Right Light

Christ crucified appears in radiant light, superimposed upon the battlefield landscape. The Cross is shown not in historical Jerusalem, but spiritually present above the fields of modern war.

The composition draws directly upon the imagery popularised by James Clark in The Great Sacrifice (1914), in which Christ is seen above the bodies of fallen soldiers.

Here the theological message is clear:
the sacrifice of the soldier participates in the sacrifice of Christ.

Tracery

In the tracery above appears the Agnus Dei, flanked by stylised Flanders poppies — the flower of remembrance. The Lamb stands upon a green mound beneath a blue heaven, visually linking sacrifice, Resurrection, and hope.
