Three-light window depicting Christ with St George and St Michael. At the head of each light is an angel standing on a wheel - these are the four cherubim of the Vision of Ezekiel. Above the wheels are verses of the Te Deum. Upon various shields at the bottom of the window are represented the South African Medal, the Soldier's Bible with Union Jack cover and the sun rising over the veldt. Below the central light are the Royal Arms and the names of various battles.
