This is a most beautiful window design and installed to the memory of Captain George Woods.  At the very top we see angels dressed in red with cherubs either side in blue. The main panes show St. George smiting the dragon on the right and Jesus with the Lamb of God.

​At the foot of the window, the exhortation and the personal details of Captain Wood are given, along with a depiction of his regimental badge.

The WFA was formed in 1980 to maintain interest in the First World War (1914-1918). We work to perpetuate the memory, courage and comradeship of all, from all sides, on all Fronts: on land, at sea, in the air and on the Home Front. The WFA is non-political and does not seek to glorify war.
