Statement of Commitment minuted 23rd May 2001
We are committed to building a future for Cawsand Congregational Church based on traditional community values, which welcome equal opportunity and mutual encouragement for sharing belief in Christianity through our worship and work.
As we remember the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings there are still some of us left who will have their memories of the war and its effect on their own families. Someone who took part in the landings was Sammy's and my dad, Bernard, who joined the Royal Engineers I 1938 and, thankfully, survived to be 'de-mob'd' in late 1945. He had previously worked in Fleet Street and was, therefore, well-equipped to document what he saw of action, particularly on D-Day and after, and we are grateful to Colin and Anita for printing his own record of the chaos and courage as he landed on Gold Beach at 'H-plus 15 minutes' - and the aftermath. (See elsewhere in this issue).
Thank God for what all those brave souls achieved for us...and for the world.
'We shall remember them'
