All four of the shield stained glass windows located outside the entrance to the Memorial Chamber were designed by Frank Hollister, who had spent four years in active service during the Great War, and constructed by Cowan & Hollister in 1928.

This window has a white shield with red cross symbolizing Saint George, the patron saint of England, complemented with helmet and folded ribbon. The Latin inscription on the window translates to: By faith victorious.
