Miss Frances Cross of Ripon donated £1,000 to be used for the benefit of the University, 'out of personal gratitude and admiration for [Sadler's] work at the University'. Sadler used the money to secure completion of a project which he had been considering since 1916, to commission a war memorial from the sculptor Eric Gill. Originally positioned on the South wall of the old library, the work caused outrage when it first appeared. It was dedicated by the Bishop of Ripon on 1st June 1923.
