seated on the Rainbow of Peace, at his feet the Earth, whilst
two symbolic Soldier Saints kneel each side in prayer. The
four Beasts appear in the cornets.
1st CIRCLE. 16 lights of figures. Apostles. St Peter
at top. St. Andrew (names appear on each).
2nd CIRCLE. 32 figures. Above, 16 Prophets Below,
16 Martyrs chosen especially as relating to Belgium, these
include the only two women figures in window. The wheel
has not been broken by reversing the figures, as often in
the windows of the last two centuries, but all are treated
alike as facing the major central figure of Christ.
SMALL SURROUNDING WINDOWS.
The crests of Belgium, the British Army, the R.A.F.
and the 5 th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards (of which
Regiment King Albert was Colonel).
The window is being executed in Fulham, made of the

being aimed at. - -
THE INSCRIPTION MEMORIAL TABLET.
This has been added as part of the memorial so that many
could read and study the purpose of the gift of this Rose
Window. It will also serve as the medium for the unveiling
ceremony.
Size 8 feet by 3 feet. A panel and frame of pale grey
sycamore wood in natural grain, painted in oil and sealed
behind plate glass engraved in colour by the London
Sand-Blasting Company. Considerable attention has been
paid to the damp climate of Ypres.
THE CREST OF THE BRITISH ARMY is here used
for the first time and was given to that Service by H.M. King
George V shortly before his death.
THE CREST OF BELGIUM is carved in wood, painted,
and is here shown for the first time in Belgium surrounded
by the British Order of the Garter.
The CREST OF THE jth R.I.D. Guards is shown in
its new design. The casde which still appears in the window
is now dropped and instead appears the word Inniskilling
and the motto. Since the War, two Regiments were amal
gamated.
Valuable assistance was given here by Messrs. Farmfield
and Marsh, Architects and members of the Territorial Army.
