P. Jackson, of Halifax, who had made the oak reredos. The Vicar read the 39 names of those who had given their lives, and said the words of dedication “ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, we dedicate this Memorial Tablet, to the Glory of God, and in memory of the men of this parish who fell in the Great War”. Lt.-Col. Sir G. A. Armitage, of Kirklees, accompanied by the Vicar, Rev. R. Robertson, Rev. C. H. Slack, and the Churchwardens, Major Brooke and Mr. Duckinfield, unveiled the Memorial Tablet, and gave a suitable address on the need of comradeship. The address was given by Canon Tupper Carey, Vicar of Huddersfield. The choir sang the anthems, “The Souls of the Righteous” and “What are these? “and the hymns, “Oh God our help in ages past” and “For all the Saints”. Mr. Lunn played a Funeral March by Beethoven and the “Last Post” and “Reveille” were sounded by Drummer Beevers. The Service was attended by many Ex-Service Men, and beautiful wreaths were sent by relatives.
