Whiteshill War Memorial.

At an open-air service on the afternoon of Sunday, January 1st, the War Memorial on Whiteshill for the civil parish of Winterbourne was unveiled. It is a massive, slightly tapered, rectangular Latin Cross, with pierced Iona head, on an obtruncated pyramidical base, raised on three deep and wide roughly hewn steps, all of pennant stone and perfectly plain save for the "Line of Life" traced on the face of the head. (You are not expected to draw the Memorial from this description.) It stands on the edge of the Common, facing the high road. On this side of the base its purpose and dedication are recorded; each of the other three sides is devoted to the names of those who fell from the three ecclesiastical parishes of Winterbourne, Frenchay and Winterbourne Down respectively. From each of these its Choir, robed and headed by its processional cross, led a procession of parishioners and arrived and took up position on its appointed side whilst the band was playing a voluntary. All stood at attention whilst the Dead March was played. Dr. Crossman, Chairman of the Committee, whose loving labours were that day crowned, gave an opening address, touching on the central and prominent position of the Memorial and of its local character, the material being drawn from the neighbourhood and the design, shaping and erection the work of fellow-parishioners of those to whose memory it was erected. He closed with a comforting lesson from its simple decoration. "Praise, my soul, The King of Heaven" was sung and Miss Robinson of Frenchay, after a few appropriate words, then unveiled the Memorial. It was solemnly dedicated by the Archdeacon of Bristol who in a short address pointed out that it had a two-fold message, "Lest we forget" regarding the past, and "Carry on," probably the last words of some there commemorated, with a view to the future. Evergreen wreaths were then laid at its foot on behalf of ex-service men and divers societies, and after "There is a green hill" had been sung The Rev. G. Jarvis of Whiteshill Chapel and The Rector of Winterbourne [the Rev. C. J. Burrough] spoke, each taking "Brotherhood" as his theme; the latter then said the concluding prayers. "O God, our Help" was sung, The Archdeacon gave the Blessing, an impressive silence was broken by the thrilling plaint of the Last Post, and a very solemn and touching service was over.
