Speech by The Bishop of Winchester

"No one knows better, than a soldier the horrors of war,and its evil. It is a strange paradox that out of the misery and wretchedness of war some of the finest human qualities can emerge. Courage, yes; comradeship in adversity, the determination to over come in dreadful conditions, unselfishness, trust and relience on one another, the refusal to let others down; a strong bond between Officers, NCOs and Private soldiers; without false sentiment, a band of brothers."
