On the north wall inside the church.

A round wooden plaque with carving which depicts the Annunciation, St Dunstan, an American Eagle, crest of 95th Bomb Group and the bells of Horham Church. Below it, is a small rectangular explanatory plaque written in English text.

The 95th BG arrived in England in the spring of 1943.  After short stays at Alconbury and Framlingham, the Group moved to Horham Airfield, Station 119, on June 15th, remaining there for the duration of the War.   Planned originally for RAF use, the Horham airfield was provided to the U. S. Army Air Force in 1942, and construction commenced—two hangars, station headquarters, administrative buildings, and living sites.  The sprawling base spanned four parishes:  Horham, Denham, Redlingfield, and Hoxne.  In September 1943, Horham was also designated as headquarters for the 13th Combat Bombardment Wing of the 3rd Air Division.
