All Saints’ Garrison Church, Aldershot.
2nd AUGUST 1920.
Service held at the
DEDICATION AND UNVEILING OF THE MEMORIAL TABLET
In Memory of the Officers, N.C.O.’s, and
Men of the 13th Hussars who gave their
lives in the Great War, 1914-1918.
Dead March” (Chopin).
OPENING SENTENCES.
I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord; he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me, shall never die. (John xi. 25, 26.)
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John xv. 13.)
I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, From henceforth blessed are the dead that die in the Lord: even so, saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labours.

THE MEMORIAL TABLET IN ALL SAINTS’ GARRISON CHURCH, ALDERSHOT
DEDICATED AND UNVEILED, 2ND AUGUST 1920]
PSALM XXIII.
Dominus regit me.
1. The Lord is my Shepherd: therefore can I lack nothing.
2. He shall feed me in a green pasture: and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort.
3. He shall convert my soul: and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness, for His Name’s sake.
4. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me.
5. Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me: Thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full.
6. But Thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
(Gloria.)
THE LESSON.
WISDOM iii. 1-6.
But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die; and their departure is taken for misery, and their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace. For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality. And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded; for God proved them and found them worthy for Himself. As gold in the furnace hath He tried them, and received them as a burnt-offering.
HYMN.
“Fight the good fight.” (A.M. 540.)
PRAYERS.
Almighty God, with whom do live the spirits of them that depart hence in the Lord, and with whom the souls of the faithful, after they are delivered from the burden of the flesh, are in joy and felicity; We give Thee hearty thanks, for that it hath pleased Thee to take our brethren into Thy merciful keeping: beseeching Thee that we, with all those that are departed in the true faith of Thy Holy Name, may have our perfect consummation and bliss, both in body and soul, in Thy eternal and everlasting glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty God, we commend to Thy loving kindness the souls of Thy servants, the men of this Regiment, whom we now commemorate before Thee. Accept, O Lord, the offering of their self-sacrifice, and grant to them with all Thy faithful servants a place of refreshment and peace where the light of Thy countenance shines for ever, and where all tears are wiped away; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Comfort, O Lord, we pray Thee, all who are mourning the loss of those near and dear to them. Be with them in their sorrow. Support them with the knowledge of Thy love. Teach them to rest and lean on Thee. Give them faith to look beyond the troubles of this present time, and to know that neither life nor death can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord, to whom with the Father and the Holy Ghost be all honour and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Dedication of the Memorial Tablet.
By the Rev. F. I. Anderson, C.M.G., S.C.F., C. of E., Aldershot, Chaplain to the King.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we dedicate this Memorial to the glory of God, and in memory of the Men of this Regiment who have fallen in the great War. May their example inspire us to courage in the greater war against all evil. May their memory ever burn brightly in those who here or elsewhere remember their deeds, and, strengthened by their fellowship, look forward to reunion with them in the inheritance of the saints in light.
We give Thee thanks, O Lord, Father Almighty, for all those Thy servants who waxed valiant in fight and wrought righteousness, and counting not their life dear unto themselves, laid it down for their friends; and we pray Thee that, having fought a good fight and finished their course with joy, they may rejoice evermore with them that have come out of great tribulation, and, having washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb, stand before Thy Throne and serve Thee day and night for ever; through Him that overcame and is set down on Thy Throne, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost now and ever and world without end. Amen.
The Address.
Most merciful Father, Who hast been pleased to take unto Thyself the souls of those whom we now commemorate before Thee, grant unto us who are still in our pilgrimage and who walk as yet by faith that, having served Thee with constancy on earth, we may be joined hereafter with Thy blessed saints in glory everlasting, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER.
THE BENEDICTION.
The Lord grant to us, together with all His faithful servants, rest and peace in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
The National Anthem.
The Last Post by Massed Trumpeters.
HYMN.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home;
Beneath the shadow of Thy Throne
Thy Saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine Arm alone
And our defence is sure.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home. Amen.
