Produktbeschreibung
Friends of St. Nicholas' Church, Thames Ditton are pleased to have commissioned and present this book, 'We will remember them', authored by church member and military historian, Malcolm Cooper, as part of the centenary anniversary of Armistice Day. Malcolm has worked tirelessly, meticulously researching those who came from Thames Ditton to fight in World War One, and ultimately give their lives as part of the war effort. Through Malcolm's endeavors, we can understand the breadth of the sacrifice that the one hundred and seven men and one woman made, the circumstances in which they fought and fell, and something of their background and upbringing. The accounts are insightful, often moving, and allow us to consider the debt of gratitude that we owe. Every year we gather on Remembrance Sunday, either in church, or at the War Memorial on Giggs Hill Green, to say 'we will remember them'. Thanks to Malcolm's efforts, we can now remember them with greater clarity and understanding. The sacrifice of all those who died can be seen and made sense of in the light of Jesus Christ. It was his supreme sacrifice on the cross for us all that conquered death, and opened up the way for us to know eternal life and peace. Let us also remember and give thanks to Him. Rev. Andrew Cowie, Vicar, St. Nicholas' Church, Thames Ditton.
Autorenporträt
Malcolm Cooper was born in Chester on 5th May 1948. From the age of nine months, he travelled with his parents via The Royal Air Force. Following the untimely death of his father whilst studying 'A' levels at a boarding school in Germany, Malcolm returned to England to train as a teacher. Teaching was not for him and at twenty-six, he became a taxi driver in Canterbury where he remained until retirement.
