This three-light memorial window is to be found at the east end of the north aisle in All Saints Church in Flore. Below it is a brass plaque bearing the names of the men of Flore who died in WWI.

The three main panels of the window carry the images of St.Martin, Christ in Glory, and St.George with the words "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a Crown of Life" Revelation ch2:vv10. Above are the crests of three regiments, the Royal Artillery, the Coldstream Guards, and the Northamptonshire Yeomanry.

The dedication and names inscribed on the plaque are:
