This memorial to one of the Norfolk Cavalry Regiments is in the North Aisle of the Nave of Norwich Cathedral.  Note the emphasis on the ‘Glory of God’ and ‘King and Country’ as might be expected from a Regular Regiment in the Great War.

Here is the Window which is very Pre Raphaelite in style with St George prominently riding down the dragon flanked by Victory and  Valour on each side.
