    Memorial Window To The 6th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment 50p The Creation of the Window 1921 The Memorial window to the 6th battalion, Prince of Wales's Own (West Yorkshire Regiment) was created in the Bromsgrove workshop of AJ Davies. In the same year in which the window was dedicated (1921), Captain EV Tempest published his History of the 6th Battalion, West Yorkshire Regiment. A detailed description and drawing of the window forms the final Appendix in the book and this, and other evidence, seems to make clear that there was collaboration between Captain Tempest and the Bromsgrove artists. Davies had established a studio in the premises of the Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts in 1906. During the 47 years of its existence this studio was commissioned to produce a large number of stained glass windows for pa- trons in Britain and abroad. Of particular importance to the studio, between 1911 and 1927, was the work of Albert Edward Lemmon. During WW1 Lemmon volunteered with the Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders and served in France from October 1915 until demobilisation on 15 May 1919. Throughout the war Lemmon carried with him his watercolours, pencils and paper and recorded scenes of battles, the wounded and war damaged buildings. A book of 13 of his images, each of a named and dated scene showing the awful conditions of life in the trenches, was published as Yuletide Greetings from the Battalion in 1919. Their close similarity in style and content leads us to believe that much of this 6th Battalion window was his inspiration.
