- Inscription
- WITH PROUD THANKSGIVING/ Let us remember our ELDER BRETHREN, fellow-members of the/ family of this Church, who gave their lives in sserving the cause of Freedom/ during six years of War, 1939 - 1945./ Of all ranks and conditions they died on every front of battle by sea and land and/ air, some very far away and some at home. Some fell in action with the enemy, or/ died on active service through wounds, sickness, or accident./ They gave their bodies to every ocean, to the sands of the desert, to the jungle-/ to the mountains and the ruins of fields and cities, they fell from the skies. They knew/ knew heat and cold, tempest and flame, hardness and cost and the ultimate agony of/ passing. But their true selves did not perish, they love and learn to serve in an/other country where their King and ours reigns perpetually in light and love/ and peace. - We are their debtors to continue their work - / WE WILL REMEMBER THEM./ They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old,/ Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn,/ At the going down of the sun, and in the morning.../ WE WILL REMEMBER THEM/ (Names)/ THE CHANCEL SCREEN WAS DEDICATED ON ST ANDREWS DAY 1945 TO THE MEMORY OF THESE MEN.
