Let us remember before God, and commend to his sure keeping, those who have died for their country in war; those whom we knew, and whose memory we treasure; and all who have lived and died in the service of humankind.

One hundred ten years ago this year, the Great War began.  These are the names of those from the Parish of St. Cyprian, Lacombe, Alberta, who gave their lives in service to Canada and the Commonwealth in that war: 1914-1918:

• Lieutenant W. Bothamley
• Sergeant A.M. Dick
• Walter Flemming
• Arthur Hansen
• J. Parkinson
• Captain C.W. Ritson
• H.P. Sansbury
• Corporal R.W. Scott
• Foster Thompson
• W.D. Trampleasure
• P.H. Welch
• A. Wynn

These are the names of those related to this Parish whom we remember this day:

• David George Dann
• Harold Dann
• Reginald Walter Daniel
• Elvin Newto Cluderay
• Jack Chapman
• Robert Towers
• Harry Towers
• Ralph Towers
• Will Ironside
• Steve Osborne
• Eugene Conrad O'Brien
• Edward John Roberts
• John Gillies Rennie
• Ivan Young
• Charles Richard Mellafont
• Eric Davis

They shall grow not 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.

Almighy and eternal God, from whose love in Christ we cannot be parted, either by death or life: hear our prayers and thanksgivings for all whom we remember this day; fulfill in them the purpose of your love; and bring us all, with them, to your eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  AMEN.
