A FIRST WORLD WAR CAKE RECIPE
During the First World War people in Briton would bake and post a
fruit cake to loved ones on the front line. Some traditional cake
ingredients were hard to come by.
There are no eggs in this recipe and vinegar was used to react with
the baking soda to help the cake rise.
Ingredients
1/2 lb flour
4oz margarine
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/4 pint of milk
3 oz brown sugar
3 oz cleaned currants
2 teaspoon cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
nutmeg
ginger
grated lemon rind
Method
Grease a cake tin. Rub margarine into the flour in a basin. Add the
dry ingredients. Mix well. Add the soda dissolved in vinegar and milk.
Beat well
Turn into the tin. Bake in a moderate oven for about two hours.
Thanks to Peter Sully for this recipe. HOPE SOMEONE WILL TRY IT.

TO THE SOLDIER
(It is hard for us to imagine the full horror of what so many have
been through in war, but it is vital that we try, for only then can we
appreciate all we owe to the millions we remember, and so
understand the importance of maintaining peace for future
generations. The following reflection, written during a visit to the war
graves of Flanders, asks how it must have felt to be one of the
countless young men sent out to the battlefields of the “The Great
War’.)
!
How did you feel that morning
when the call up papers came through?
Did your blood run cold, or excitement take hold
at the thought that your country needs you?
How did you feel that morning
when the time came to set off from home?
Did you conquer your fears, or break down in tears
with the loved ones you’d soon leave alone?
How did you feel that morning
when you first set foot in the trench?
Did you brush it aside, or wish you could hide
from the horror, the carnage, the stench?
How did you feel that morning when your friend was blown up by a shell?
Did you rush to his aid, or just stand there, afraid
that you’d somehow been whisked off to hell?
How did you feel that morning when they sent you over the top?
Did you shout with relief, or in sheer disbelief,
vainly pray that this nightmare would stop?

No greater love
Dear Friends,
At the beginning of August many events were held to commemorate
the centenary of the commencement of World War I. You may have
observed the Royal British Legion’s ‘Lights Out’ call on 4 August 2014
which marked the date Great Britain entered the First World War.
Throughout the coming years we will be further reminded to pay
attention to the costliness of conflict and the high price paid for
peace: Lest we forget.
In John 15:12 Jesus says to His disciples:
‘This is my
commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.’ In
remembering the high price paid in the World Wars and in more
recent conflicts, we can hold these words of Jesus in our hearts, for
Jesus acknowledges that love can be costly and that love involves
sacrifice: ‘No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life
for one's friends.’ (John 15:13)
Paul picks up on this concept in his letter to the Church in Rome:
‘For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the
ungodly. Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though
perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But
God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ
died for us.’ (Romans 5:6-8) Scripture clearly teaches us that the fruit
we yield; the good works we can do; the love we can demonstrate are
all in response to the love of God: ‘We love because he first loved
us.’ (1 John 4:19)
As we remember and give thanks for the sacrifices of so many, we
can respond to God’s love by showing our love to others, however
easy or difficult that might be. Yet we can ask for help, and help will
be given from the Holy Spirit. Perhaps the words in Kate Wilkinson’s
hymn could be our own prayer: ‘May the mind of Christ my Saviour
live in me from day to day, by His love and power controlling all I do
and say.’ (Hymns & Psalms 739)
Yours in Christ,
Mark

As we remember the First World War, it is the gallantry of the servicemen
caught up in the carnage, that immediately springs to our minds. Yet, there were
other stories that we seldom hear. Stories that had tragedy of their own. My great
aunt Lottie, for example, fell in love with a young local farmer. Since childhood
they had attended the local school; worshipped at the village Baptist Church,
eventually singing in the choir, and then, in their teens, they 'walked out' together.
Despite war being declared, all was well with the couple, until that is, Walter
received his 'call-up' papers. He declared himself as a Conscientious Objector, a
right allowed by an Act of Parliament, that on religious grounds, a man could
declare himself an Absolutist – and would not assist in the war effort, or an
Alternatist – who would assist in a non-combative role. Many such people served
courageously as ambulance drivers at the front, or in the Pioneer Corps, building
roads and digging trenches, often under fire. Walter chose to be an Absolutist.
!Around this time, however, Walter and Lottie disappeared and were rumoured to
have eloped to Canada to avoid his war service, but, where-ever they went - the
couple returned to the village married, and Walter was immediately summoned to
the local Tribunal to be judged on his anti-war stance. By now it is 1916 and the
casualty figures were rising daily, which created a tide of ill-feeling towards any
able-bodied men not in uniform. A spate of white feathers - a token of cowardice were received by a number of like minded men, and Walter too found them
pushed through his letterbox. Facing a Tribunal in this atmosphere of anger and
resentment, was there can be no doubt, a frightening experience, especially as
little quarter was given. The man was brutally cross-examined by the panel
members, many of whom, of course, had sons, or brothers serving at the front.
Walter apparently was unfaltering in his stance, and hung tenaciously to the
commandment “Thou shalt not kill,” and even when he was asked, “What would
you do if you met an armed German soldier walking down the main street?” he
answered without hesitation, “I would meet him with my Bible in my hand.” This
statement was met with incredulity, causing much amusement and ridicule from
the panel members, and onlookers. It certainly did not help his plea, consequently, he
was committed to penal servitude, for the remainder of the war. Sadly his father could not
bare the ignominy of his son's incarceration, and took his own life soon after.
!
“Dodger,” as Walter had become known, returned home to Lottie following the Armistice,
and despite being battered and bruised psychologically from his solitary imprisonment, he
continued farming until well into his eighties. Although their marriage was not entirely
happy, the pair remained staunch Baptists, and were heavily involved in church life, but
the story does not end there. Tragically, in 1956, one one wet November evening, Lottie
as returning the half-a-mile home from the farm carrying the eggs in her basket, when she
was brutally attacked and murdered. The world lost, as my father often said, “her radiant
smile” and also, her beautiful, and much requested, contralto voice. “Dodger,” outlived his
wife by a number of years, and continued to live out his Christian values for the 'sunset
years' of his life.
Roy Billingham.

How did you feel that morning
when the bullets started to fly?
Did you think even then you might cheat death again,
or did you know you were going to die?
How did you feel that morning
as the lifeblood slipped slowly away?
Did you try to make sense of these crazy events
or with one final breath try to pray?
How do I feel this morning
in the face of such slaughter and sorrow?
Do I just stand aghast as I think of the past
or give all for a better tomorrow?

peace,
Jesus Christ our Lord.

FOR THE FALLEN
The "Ode of Remembrance" is an ode taken from Laurence Binyon's
poem, "For the Fallen", which was first published in The Times in
September 1914.!
The poet wrote “For the Fallen,” which has seven stanzas, while sitting on
the cliffs between Pentire Point Polzeath and The Rumps in North
Cornwall, UK. A stone plaque was erected at the spot in 2001 to
commemorate the fact. There is also a plaque on the beehive monument
on the East Cliff above Portreath which cites that as the place where
Binyon composed the poem. A plaque on a statue dedicated to the fallen
in Valleta, Malta is also inscribed with these words.!
!
!
For the Fallen! !
!
!
Composed on these cliffs 1914!
(first three verses)!
They went with songs to the battle, they were young.
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam!
!
Music arrangement for “For the Fallen.” by Douglas Guest.!
Another composer Mark Blatchley, also wrote music for these words.!
Both tunes with various choirs are available on Youtube .
