The SALTFLEETBY VILLAGE HISTORY Website

	In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow  Between the crosses, row on row  That mark our place; and in the sky  The larks, still bravely singing, fly  Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae (1872 - 1918)  John McCrea died in a French military hospital in 1918.
	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. -- Laurence Binyon (1869-1943)

A Roll Of Honour for the First World War used to hang in the West End Chapel also.

There was also a Roll Of Honour displayed in the East End Chapel, but over the years and the sale of the Chapel this Roll of Honour has been misplaced, but thanks to John Readman (READ MORE  ABOUT - The National Inventory of War Memorials) (Also many thanks go to Charles Anderson who sent the transcription to John) who kindly sent this article to me, so we now have the names of those who served in the First World War from the East End Chapel as well.
