Later on, when the war is over, we hope to be able to obtain the particulars which you must wish to know, and after the war too, it will be possible for the International Red Cross to return to England any personal effects which may have been found belonging tour soldiers. We do know that the French and Belgian Red Cross are tending the graves of our fallen soldiers with the greatest care, keeping flowers on them wherever possible and I hope so much that this knowledge may be some little comfort to you.’ |

It is another example of the extreme seriousness of the cause which called our brother with millions of others. It is indeed an example of the price which is being paid for our safety and comfort and peace at home. We salute the memory of one who was of our number, but now is no longer with us. We pay tribute to one who withheld nothing, but gave all. He was a hero who so died for us all and we thank God that Hw will reward him with His all. They do not die who gave so much, they live and that immortally. They shall surely be first in the army of the King of Kings, when He marches in to take the Kingdoms of the world. To his father and sister and relatives and friends we extend this day our sincere sympathy.

That a price must be paid, and that too by our kith and kin, was brought home to the community in Moneymore when the sad news came on Saturday night that Guardsman Jim Megaw had been killed in action. Guardsman Megaw joined the Irish Guards some six years ago, so that, right from the outbreak of war, he was in action with this famous regiment. In May 1940 he was in the famous expedition to Narvik, where the Guards put up a heroic stand against overwhelming odds. In the subsequent evacuation the transport in which he was embarked was torpedoed, but fortunately with little loss of life. |
