The initials GAR or GAH (couldn't quite make if it was an R or an H) followed by a plus sign and the initials FHH and the date 1906.

I did have the good fortune to attend a training course in the Great hall itself some years back - I recall the mural has three initials and the date of 1906 I think in hte bottom right corner. I did make a sketch of it at the time but I have been hunting around for it but no luck so far.
