Parish in Wartime , World War I

Programme for the unveiling of the War Memorial at Lydiard Tregoze, 1920

The programme contains an Order of Service for the unveiling of the Lydiard Tregoze War Memorial which took place at Hook on the afternoon December 4th 1920.

All ex-service men of the parish were invited to parade at the school (which stood close to the new memorial) just before the service which was lead by Revd. A Harrison and Revd. R Cowie. The hymns chosen for this sombre occasion were:

  • Fight the good fight with all thy might
  • Oh God our help in ages past
  • Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

Vernon St.John, 6th Viscount Bolingbroke performed the unveiling, the service ending with the sounding of The Last Post and God Save the King.
