Marching soldiers behind; a sun radiates light from the tracery light. technique: stained glass firm/studio: Clayton & Bell Church of St Peter, Lampeter, Ceredigion north wall of the nave The window is probably the work of Clayton & Bell. Text below the figures: 'There shall dawn a radiant peace'. The window was given in memory of John Charles Edmund Davies (2nd Lt Royal Welsh Fusiliers), who was mortally wounded on 9 April 1917, the first day of the Battle of Arras. The armoured figure on the left appears to be a representation of the archangel Michael.  (ObjectID=365 ImageID=274) Original File Name=Lampeter_DSC6851_53A.jpg
