Top right is a further roundel with an image of the Dethick church with the words "ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST." Below those is a depiction of Florence Nightingale with the words "FIAT LUX/ FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE./ 1820-1910." This superimposed over an array of fourteen flags representing the allied nations of WW1 and below them is the heading in black decorative sentence case gothic lettering with enhanced capital letters in red and yellow. At the centre is a depiction of an unfurled scroll with names arranged in four columns in elaborate decorative script, the fallen prefixed with a small red formy cross. At the foot is an allegorical depiction of Justice set within an oval panel with the words "TAKE UP THE SWORD OF JUSTICE." In the lower margin are explanatory notes, the names of church officials and the name of the printer. The frame is of wooden moulding and bears a small plastic plaque with the name of the donor.
