FULBOURN WAR MEMORIAL.

Lord Lieutenant Performs Unveiling Ceremony.

The Lord-Lieutenant of the County (Mr. C. W. Adeane, C.B.E.), in the presence of a large assembly, on Thursday week unveiled the parochial memorial to the men of Fulbourn who fell in the war.

As the Lord Lieutenant arrived with the Rev C. F. Townley, the Rector (the Rev. T. H. Hennessy), and the Rev. H. Ballard (pastor of the Victoria-road Congregational Church, Cambridge), a guard of honour was formed by the local Boy Scouts (under Scoutmaster Beard) and Girl Guides (under Miss Selina Townley). The hymn, “O God, our help in ages past” was then sung, followed prayers by the Rev. F. H. Ballard and the Rector, and then the hymn, "The Saints of God! their conflict past.”

In performing the unveiling ceremony. The Lord Lieutenant said: “I now unveil this memorial to the glory of God and to the memory of the brave men of Fulbourn who lost their lives in the Great War. . . . The best thing that can be said of a man when he comes to the end is that he has done all that was possible for a good cause, and the men whose names are inscribed here did all that was possible in the best causes, for they died for their country. They left all those who were dear to them, and gave their lives for England. It serious thought for all of us that we stand here to-day free men through the sacrifice of all that was best and bravest in this country, and it has put upon us a very great responsibility. We have, each one of us, so far as we are able, to perfect their work - to try to amend the world and make it a happier place for those who come after us. To win through we must foliow the example of these brave men —their constancy, their patience, and their courage. Discord will avail us nothing, neither will impatience. I think we must all try and magnify our grievances, for the material discomforts which we have are not to be compared with the real suffering which I myself have seen in the ruined districts of France and Belgium. We have indeed much to be grateful for. Honour to these men, honour to the those who belong to them and also made great sacrifices —they did their part nobly throughout the war. Honour all our soldiers and sailors. This monument will for ever be a witness that Fulbourn did its best in the Great War.

The memorial which is situated upon a triangular green near the Church, is executed in Aberdeen granite, and takes the form of a Celtic cross standing some 13 feet high. Inscribed upon it are the words: “In grateful memory in the men of Fulbourn who fell in the Great War. 1914-1919," while the base contains the names of the following who made the supreme sacrifice —Banyard, Frederick; Bridge, Victor: Darnell, Samuel; Durrell. D. C. V.; Ellis, Stanley C.: Foreman, Ernest W.; Foreman, Percy C.; Gibson, Charles: Gibson, David; Gibson, Sidney; Hancock, Arthur; Hancock, Harry: Hart, Charles; Hart, Leslie: Howard, George; Howlett, Charles S.; Matthews.
