8 WHAT’S ON A Service of Commemoration for the Centenary of the beginning of the Battle of the Somme Saturday 9 July 2016 at 3.00pm Bradford Cathedral is holding special service at 3.00pm on Saturday 9 July, to remember all those whose lives were changed forever on 1 July 1916 and for all who continue to be affected by war. The service will be led by the and attended by the Lord Lieutenant of , the High Sheriff, the Lord Mayor and the of Bradford. On the morning of 1st July 1916 young men from Bradford left their trenches in Northern France to advance across No Man's Land. It was the first hour of the first day of the Battle of the Somme. The objective of their attack was the village of Serre where they had been told there would be little resistance. Instead they were met by fire from German machine guns. The fighting strength of the two Pals Battalions on 1 July was 1394: after a couple of days the total number of men wounded or dead was 1017 and no ground had been gained. The WW1 window in the Cathedral dedicated to the 6th Battalion reminds us that were also over a thousand men from the Bradford Territorials involved, as well as others serving with the Duke of Wellington’s Regiment. This remains the most disastrous single day ever experienced by the British Army. The Battle of the Somme continued until 18th November 1916. In total, more than 1,000,000 men were wounded or killed, making it one of history’s bloodiest battles. Please join us as we remember all those from Bradford and the surrounding areas who served at the Somme - those who died, those who were wounded in body, mind or spirit, and those whose memories stayed with them for the rest of their lives. Medals are encouraged to be worn. All welcome but places must be booked by ringing the Cathedral Office on 01274 777720 or emailing [email protected]. The Dean, along with the Deans of Ripon and of Wakefield, will also be holding a short time of prayer and silence at 7.30am on Friday 1st July, the time the Battle actually began: this will be preceded by tolling the Sanctus bell for five minutes. All welcome.

The front cover picture this month is of the Memorial Window, to the 6th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment, created by Archibald J Davis, Bromsgrove 1921. In the centre is a figure of an Infantryman lying mortally wounded amidst the desolation of the battlefield. In the distance is a ruined Church, shell-torn trees and setting sun. As the day closes, he looks up and sees Christ who made the Great Sacrifice: ‘Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend.’ In the side lights is the history of the Battalion and its involvement in the war. This is a wonderful window, full of so much symbolism, telling a fascinating story. Please pick up the WW1window flyer to read the whole story.

9 WHAT’S ON Chaplains of WW1 The bravery of the Chaplains in WW1 is not well know. Often at the front line, but always unarmed, many were decorated for bravery and 179 were killed. This exhibition, running from 3 to 26 November, tells their story.

After 14 very happy terms at Bradford Cathedral and four years directing the choirs at Bradford Grammar School, I shall be moving during August to take up a new position as Head of Choral Music at Solihull School, a 1000-strong co-educational independent school (ages 7-18) with a flagship music department and a strong tradition of choral singing centred on the chapel choirs. The choirs at Solihull are exceptionally busy, singing for regular services and concerts, travelling to Cathedrals to sing Evensong, touring internationally, commissioning new works each year and appearing regularly on the BBC Daily Service. I am also going to teach the organ students who have the benefit of a wonderful three-manual chapel organ by Nicholson of Worcester on which to learn, and I will teach some curricular music across the junior and senior departments. I also hope to have time to develop my own organ playing further, learning new repertoire and continuing to give recitals. I am in post here until the end of August, but the end of the Choir's term on 10th July feels like it is imminently approaching. There will be opportunities for goodbyes and farewells, but I want to record here that I have had a wonderful time at the Cathedral, developing our musicians, working alongside fabulous colleagues and being so well supported across the Cathedral community. I am working hard to effect a smooth transition as plans for next academic year develop here, and shall watch the Cathedral's continued growth and progress with interest and affection. Thank you!
