Memorial Service for 2Lt LJA 'Jack' Dewar RMLI OO

And so on to the Ancre British Cemetery for a brief memorial service at the graveside of 2Lt Dewar, an Old Oakhamian. We remembered his sacrifice and that of other Old Oakhamians who made the ultimate sacrifice like so many men of their generation. Esther Hamilton-Ivory laid a wreath on behalf of Oakham School and the Old Oakhamians.

They shall not grow 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.
