Yesterday morning I went to church as normal. I live in an English village, and the village church still has a place at the heart of the community. Yesterday was Remembrance Day, and so we had an act of remembrance. We were given a list of those on the village war memorial, detailing those from our community who died in the first and second world wars. Among them was a soldier who died in the battle for Basra 1916. Today British soldiers are back in Basra, and many have fought and died.
Spare a thought, and prayer for our brave military whose work is never completed; especially those who have died serving King or Queen and country.
Requiscant in Pace.
