'GEDLING’S FALLEN. Memorial Dedicated by Bishop of Newcastle. A STRIKING WINDOW. Their lives laid down for their country, the names of fifty-four Gedling men, including six officers, are inscribed upon the mural tablet in the north aisle of the old parish church of All Hallows, Gedling. With the memorial window in the chancel, the tablet was dedicated yesterday by the Right Rev. H. L. Wild, Bishop of Newcastle. The service was attended by several hundreds of Gedling residents, including a detachment of V.A.D.s in uniform, and after the dedication of the window a procession was formed to the aisle headed by the churchwardens, Mr. H. Grundy sad Colonel H. Blackburn, and including Sir John Turney, donor of the memorial, and Mrs Turney, in her uniform as a commandant of the V.A.D., the Hon. and Rev. A. E. Bertie, vicar of Gedling, the Rev. F. J. Edmond (St. George's, Netherfield), the Rev. T. W. Peck (St. Augustine’s, New Basford), a former curate of Gedling, and the Rev. W. Kemp (St. Paul’s, Carlton). The tablet on which the names are inscribed in black letters on white marble, there being a frame alabaster, was then unveiled and dedicated by the Bishop.' True Spirit of Sacrifice. Preaching from the text "He saved others, Himself he cannot save," Dr. Wild said that the words almost instinctively came to mind as they lifted their eyes to the beautiful memorial he had just dedicated. They came echoing down the ages to reveal to men the true spirit of sacrifice in every age. It was a noble message that this window would convey to those who were to come - the soldier who offered himself his sword, his life, the ministers of mercy, feeding the hungry, binding the wounded, deriving inspiration and power from the cross on their arms. He had been recalling as he came back to this neighbourhood of many friendships and so many happy memories, the early days of the war bursting upon them so shatteringly and surprisingly. To those who went they owed it that that valley was as they had always known it, a valley inhabited by free people, their homes safe and untouched. They had learned a great lesson, not seeking what they could give. In the presence of other tendencies today it was well to remember and seek to keep that spirit. The Window. Rich in colours, the new east window, representing the ideal and the actual, is a remarkable instance of modern war illustrations combined with traditional figures of saints and angels, together with a central Calvary. It bears the inscription: “To the glory of God this window was given by Sir John Turney, Knight of this parish,’’ together with the date. With widespread wings of crimson and flame colour, the Archangels, Michael and Raphael are seen in the upper portion of the panels, and below are three tableaux. In one, food is seen in the process of distribution to homeless refugees, in the second two soldiers in khaki, kneeling, offer a sword for the blessing of a surpliced priest and in the third a casualty clearing station on the Western front is shown, with tents and stretchers, in the foreground being a Red Cross nurse binding a wounded ‘"Tommy.” Amongst the names commemorated in the now permanent Roll of Honour are those of the Rev. B.R. Streeten, who left the parish to become chaplain to the Forces, and 2nd Lieutenant N, M. K. Bertie, son of the vicar of Gedling.
