William De Mey Mottram Andrews (who died at Modder Spruit, South Africa), Sidney Llewellyn Mottram Andrews, and Avis Fellows Mottram Andrews.

 

"In the centre light is the Dove representing the Holy Ghost, bearing the words, “Come unto Me”. In tracery above is the emblem I.H.S., with decorated Gothic foliage.

It was executed in the studios of Messrs. Mitchell and Son, Exeter."
