The memorial World War Two scout window in St Aldhelm's Church, Edmonton

St Aldhelm's Church in Windmill Road, Enfield, was my mother's local Church of England church.

On the immediate left wall as one enters the church, there is a striking stained glass window which commemorates the scouts from the 2nd Edmonton group who died in the Second World War.
