The South Ambulatory from the South-West; shows Royal tomb on the left and directly ahead is the entrance to the Henry VII Chapel.
One copy annotated on reverse by R.S. Chalk, as follows:
'This unpretentious Memorial faced us every time we came down School after Prayers. It aroused no interest, except for the unusual name ‘Prothero’. We were under the impression that the Latin inscription was composed by J.S. (Jn. Sergeaunt) – in fact it was (I believe) by Prof. J.S. Phillimore.
It is ironical that this Memorial should have survived the Blitz intact while so much around it (including the Great War Memorial) was completely destroyed. It was one of the few things I recognised when I re-visited the rains of School in 1945 after my long sojourn in India.
Only a few feet away (on the wall facing the VI Form Window) are the two cryptic names which I can claim the honour of deciphering- JOSEPH PRESTON, in Hebrew (which I took as a VII Form Option at School) and E.R. GLYN in Hindi Nagaric characters (which I learnt while in India).'
Glass Plate Negatives (4¼” x 3¼”). [missing] at the top of the steps from School Gateway, facing the entrance up School.
