PASSAGE DONATED BY PAUL MOORE SNR.

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, ...
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

PASSAGE AND PHOTOGRAPH DONATED BY IAN MALCOLMSON

The soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.


... 'Step forward now, you soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?'

The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
'No Lord, I guess I ain't.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is really rough.

But, I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.

'Step forward now, you soldier,
You've borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell.'

I hope you don't mind me posting this since it is from Thiepval and not Hartlepool but it has a great significance for me. There were French as well as British graves and the names of many thousands who gave their lives during that awful battle which produced 64,000 British casualties on the FIRST day. Many of the graves had no names. There was one significant difference between the French graves of unknown soldiers and those of the British. The French graves had simply one word, inconnu - unknown. The British said 'Known unto God'. On that cold, wet October day when I visited Thiepval it just seemed to me, as a practising Christian,that there was something comforting and hopeful about those warriors being known to God. They are not forgotten or unknown to Him.

As its remembrance weekend I thought it be nice to share or images of family and history of people from the town.
This is my Great Great Grand farther Barton Grainger Holdforth.
Holdforth Road opposite the hospital was named after him.

On this special Remembrance Sunday, marking the centenary of the First World War, we remember the thousands of Sikhs who volunteered and died in that first trul...y global conflict with this incredibly haunting performance of the Last Post, played on the dilruba by Jasdeep Singh.

This was performed at the launch of the mobile 'Empire, Faith & War' exhibition earlier this week at City Hall, London. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=792183894161321
