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 saltire representing the cross of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, and is complemented with helmet and shamrock. The Latin inscription on the window translates to: Courageous even to death.
