Friends of St. Nicholas' Church, Thames Ditton are pleased to have
commissioned and present this book, 'We will remember them',
authored by church member and military historian, Malcolm Cooper,
as part of the centenary anniversary of Armistice Day. Malcolm has
worked tirelessly, meticulously researching those who came from
Thames Ditton to fight in World War One, and ultimately give their
lives as part of the war effort. Through Malcolm's endeavors, we
can understand the breadth of the sacrifice that the one hundred
and seven men and one woman made, the circumstances in which they
fought and fell, and something of their background and upbringing.
The accounts are insightful, often moving, and allow us to consider
the debt of gratitude that we owe. Every year we gather on
Remembrance Sunday, either in church, or at the War Memorial on
Giggs Hill Green, to say 'we will remember them'. Thanks to
Malcolm's efforts, we can now remember them with greater clarity
and understanding. The sacrifice of all those who died can be seen
and made sense of in the light of Jesus Christ. It was his supreme
sacrifice on the cross for us all that conquered death, and opened
up the way for us to know eternal life and peace. Let us also
remember and give thanks to Him. Rev. Andrew Cowie, Vicar, St.
Nicholas' Church, Thames Ditton.
