The Regimental Crests Window, shown below, is made up of stained glass crests which originally appeared on two separate windows. In the late 1960s the church acquired a circular stained glass window with 12 small, round, Scottish, regimental crests originally from the Church Of Scotland Canteen in Mandora Road, Aldershot. This was acquired around the time the canteen was demolished. At this point the stained glass window was stored, rather than erected. Another stained glass window, with five larger regimental crests on it, was acquired from either the former Methodist soldiers' home at Smith Dorrien House, Queen's Avenue, Aldershot or from Bagshot Park. There are contradictory church records on this point. In the early 1980s, Rev David Reid, who was minister at the time, came across both windows and proposed incorporating them in one new window for the church. The cost of the new stained glass was met by the trustees of the St. Andrew's Scottish Soldiers Club Fund.
There are 12 stones set into the brickwork of the back wall of the Cameron chapel. The stones show regimental crests, from the Second World War, principally of Scottish regiments. The designs appear to have been modelled mainly on cap badges. These stones were carved in Egypt, by German prisoners of war. They were placed in an army church, which, at the time of its construction, was known as St. Andrew's Kirk, Geneifa, Egypt. That building was constructed by Scottish troops, in early 1943, to replace a tented church and officially opened on 4th July 1943. Following the withdrawal of British troops from Egypt, in the mid 1950s, St. Andrew's Kirk closed. The stones then moved, via a brief spell in Cyprus, to St. Andrew's Garrison Church. Some are in good condition, others are badly worn. (For fuller details of the history of the stones see the History section of this website p3 "Church Memorials".) The complete set is displayed below along with a plan of their position on the back wall.
a: The design of this shield, crown and motto match those used on the arms of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. However the background colour of the shield should be black, not dark blue as here.
b: The centre of this badge is too badly worn to be 100% certain as to its identification.
