The First World War Memorial for Jesus College, Cambridge University, is situated on the south wall of Cloister Court. Immediately to the right as you stand and face it is the door to the Chapel. To the right of that is the South African War Memorial and to the right of that is the Second World War memorial, so all memorials are situated on the north external wall of the Chapel.
