THE HEROES OF BROUGHTON

MEMORIAL UNVEILED

LORD YARBOROUGH AND THE FALLEN

Impressive Ceremony.

There are few places which have done more than Broughton, in perpetuating the memory of its heroic residents, who fell in the war. On Sunday another splendid tribute of the inhabitants in memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice was unveiled by the Earl of Yarborough in the presence of a large concourse of people. Prior to the ceremony, which was impressively carried out by the Rev. H. A. Herbert, and the Rev. H. Hartley (), there was a heavy rain storm, accompanied by hail, lighting and thunder, which in a measure, was reminiscent of the storm of the war, but soon passed away, thus permitting the proceedings to be carried out in pleasanter circumstances, as the sun broke through the gloom and shone brilliantly. The Earl of Yarborough, who was accompanied by Lieut. Col. Sutton Nelthorpe M.C., D.S.O, was met by a posse of ex-Servicemen, and on either side of the cenotaph stood a soldier and sailor. Lord Yarborough, at the outset of the proceedings drew aside the Union Jack which covered the figure of a soldier, which is partly enclosed at the back of the cenotaph, and in so doing remarked, “Let us remember with thankfulness, with all honour to God and man, the 34 young men from Broughton who gave their lives for their King and Country in the Great War.” In his address, his lordship stated they were assembled to do honour to those men who died in the Great War. It seemed to him to be particularly appropriate that they should meet on the Lord’s Day for such a purpose. Those who had fallen in the war had carried out to the full a great Christian ideal of service and sacrifice to others. Those gallant men gave up all they had, given their lives for their country and its people. He rejoiced that through the kindness of those gave the site and through the kindly interest of one, who had always shown her interest for anything that was good in Broughton, that they had been enabled to erect that imposing monument to the 34 lads who went from Broughton, but were not spared to return to their homes. The monument was full of inspiration, because the figure above, well represented the feeling and sense of comradeship, as well as sympathy, as he looked down upon the cenotaph, which bore words of honour. When they thought of the war, there was depicted by the memorial, the symbolical rough stones of destruction, whilst the other stones were intended to resemble peace and rest. In addition there was room to place flowers to those with whom they were associated. Continuing, the Earl of Yarborough said the memorial was an emblem of firth, and the hope of the resurrection. He knew he was addressing a good many of the oarents and relatives of those, which the company assembled were honouring that day. He was aware also that he was addressing many of their comrades in arms, and it was therefore pleasing to him to see so many ex-Service men present. “The memory of those gallant lads will always remain green in your minds and your love for them will never grow dim,” added his Lordship. To the generation, now growing up, they would never understand what the four and a half years of war meant, as there were many who were only children when the war was being fought, and there were some who were then unborn. Years passed by rapidly, and many would pass away soon for another generation, and therefore to his mind, it was very fitting there should be such memorials

erected in our towns and villages to remind coming generations (because to them the war would be a matter of history) of the men who did suffer and who died. Proceeding, the noble Earl, said the children of future generations on their way to school who passed by that spot. Would be able to point to the monument with pride and tell how their forefathers fought and died in defence of right and liberty. And he hoped, it was some comfort and consolation to those who had to mourn sons or brothers, to know that the hallowed acres in which they lay were carefully tended. “Probably, some of them, the same as he, had visited France to see the cemeteries,” and, added his lordship, the Imperial Wars Commission had done their work with skill and loving care. There were over 2,000 cemeteries in France, and probably there was not one, which was not tended with as much loving care, as anyone could bestow. The headstones in those cemeteries were now in their places, and in each cemetery there was also the beautiful cross of sacrifice and simple stones, which stood out so conspicuously to meet the eye of visitors with pathos. In all the graveyards which the Earl had visited, the grass as fine as any of our English lawns and between the lines of green there were typical English flowers, all of which were tended with skill. Those who were employed in this work were British ex-Servicemen, with a knowledge of gardening. Those graveyards were fascinating in their simple beauty and one seemed to hear the message, so beautifully run is the couplet: - “Tell it to , they who pass by Faithful to their charge their soldiers lie.” Not in any single generation of our nation had there been a period more solemn of more compelling than, that in which those men had died in the war, because there was never such a war in history, and no sacrifice of the youngest and best in any period of history. So when we thought of those who died they did so with really deep feelings of great thankfulness and gratitude: But think, asked his lordship how different things might have been, if after all the loss in life, this country had been beaten. It was those men, whose memory they were that day honouring, who had saved them, and therefore they could not help but think of them with the deepest thankfulness. The Rev. H. A. Herbert, having dedicated the memorial in the faith of Jesus Christ, the Church surpliced choir led the singing of “The Supreme Sacrifice.” Afterwards, the Rev. H. Hartley offered prayer, and “O God our help in ages past, “was sung, accompanied by the Brigg Silver Band. “The Last Post,” having been sounded, Mr. A. Holt, C.C., thanked the Earl of Yarborough for unveiling the memorial and expressed appreciation of the real interest which he took in Broughton. The village, had in addition, two other memorials, the hut and recreation ground, as well as the memorial in the Church, and in commemorating the war, Broughton stood in a somewhat unique position. He thanked Mr. Dosser, Hull, who gave his service as architect free, also Mr. Gilbert Bazer, sculptor, the directors of the Hull Brewery Co., and Major Gleadow who presented the site. The memorial would be a great comfort to many, Mr. Holt added, a substantial sum for the memorial had been received from the Shine Committee. Mr. H. Goates, on behalf of the ex-Servicemen Mrs. Holt for her magnicent [sic] gift. It was by action the monument had been won, and it was by action the monument had been given. He hoped and prayed, that Mrs. Holt would be spared many years to live in their midst. The impressive ceremony terminated by the Brigg Silver Band playing “Fallen Heroes.” The memorial, which was so graphically described by the Earl of Yarborough, is of Portland tone, Mr. Harrison, Brigg, was contractor, and Messes Bryan Bros., Brigg undertook the masonry work. The inscription on the cenotaph is: - “To the Glory of God.” In memory of the men of Broughton, who served their King and Country 1814-1918, and in ever loving memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice, “Greater love hath no man.” The Star, Saturday, October 28th, 1933
