Three large, almost square, six-panel windows are located on either side of the church, and a set of three elongated windows, where the middle window is slightly taller, are located in the back wall of the church. The windows are dedicated to seven veterans from the First World War and one from the Second World War, all of whom died on active service.

In the middle, taller, "Rossbach" window, the knight is on horseback in a stream, looking heavenward and bearing an upraised but down-pointing sword and shield. Above the picture are a painted A.I.F. badge and an inscription.
