POPPIES OF REMEMBRANCE Delicate and bright, they catch the eye, petals open to embrace the world. Innocent, they push their way through soil and rubble, seeking light. In the light they bring forth colour to a devastated land. Blood red, they reveal the horrors lived out on the ground of their creation. Nurtured, nourished, by the rain that fell, the blood shed of human life. Their birth into the ground of warfare, herald’s remembrance. Delicate and bright, they catch the eye, petals gently moving in the breeze. Innocent, and with gentleness, they subvert all the land has witnessed. In the light of a new day they bring forth colours of peace and hope. Blood red, they reveal the pulse and life of love possible in humanity. Nurtured, nourished by creation, they become our Remembrance, Of all that has been, and is, and never should be again.

A READING P o li c e a n d C r im e MICAH C h. 4 v.1-5 Commissioner It shall come to pass in the latter days, that for South Wales the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be raised up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it, and many nations shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide for strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more; but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the Lord of hosts has spoken. For all the peoples walk each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
3 SERVICE OF COMMEMORATION “REMEMBERED WITH PRIDE” This year South Wales Police, as part of its commemoration of the centenary of the First World War, remembers fifteen police officers from our predecessor forces of Glamorgan, Cardiff, Swansea and Merthyr, who died during 1917. It was another year of terrible loss of life especially during the Third Battle of Ypres (the Battle of Passchendaele) which started on 31st July and went on until 10th November, exactly one hundred years ago today. Amongst the police officers who died in that battle was Constable Percy John Marks of the Cardiff City Police. He was from Somerset and was serving with the Welsh Guards when he was killed in action on 4th September 1917. He was 22 years of age. His sergeant wrote this letter to his father: “Dear Mr Marks. Just a few lines to inform you of the death of your son. Corpl Marks and myself were very good chums, because we belong to the same battalion and came together on this job. All the boys miss him because he was so cheerful. He always had a smile on his face, and I miss him very much, because he was one of the best NCO’s I had under me. The way he met his death was by a shell dropping right on top of the dugout, killing one NCO and three men. They were killed outright and buried beneath the dug- out. I was out digging for him last night and this morning and I shall do my best as a soldier and a pal to see that your son and the others are buried properly. If there is anything you would like to know I shall be only too pleased to help you. Your son was a good soldier and a brave one as well. Please accept the sympathy of all the boys and myself in your great loss. DJ Richards, Sergt.” The Welsh poet Ellis Humphrey Evans, Hedd Wyn, who died on the first day of the Battle of Passchendaele described such loss in his poem Rhyfel/War: M a e ’ r h e n d e l y n a u g e n i d g y n t The harps to which we sang are hung Ynghrog ar gangau’r helyg draw On willow boughs, and their refrain A gwaedd y bechgyn lond y gwynt Drowned by the anguish of the young A’u gwaed yn gymysg efo’r glaw Whose blood is mingled with the rain

MEMORIAM Chaplain O gracious Lord, help us to listen lovingly to your Word, that we may find comfort in our grief, light in our darkness, and faith in the midst of doubt; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen JOHN 14: 1-6, 18, 19; I am the way, the truth and the life Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live.”

Amen A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO MOURN Chaplain Eternal God we pray for all who mourn, comfort and support and uphold them. Help them to know you are always with them and not to think of the darkness of death, but of the splendour of everlasting life in your presence. In Jesus name we pray. Amen A PRAYER FOR THE POLICE Chaplain Almighty God we bring to you in prayer those who bear responsibility for maintaining law and order in our land especially members of the police service. Give them faith, hope, courage and wisdom to carry out their duties justly and mercifully without fear or favour, so that the innocent may be protected, evil doers be brought to account, the rights of all be defended, so that we as a nation may enjoy the blessing of a just, free and peaceful society...
