IN LOVING MEMORY OF CAPTAIN NIGEL DUNCAN RATCLIFFE HUNTER M.C. (AND BAR) ROYAL ENGINEERS WHO WAS KILLED IN ACTION AT BIEFVILLERS, NEAR BAPAUME ON MARCH 25TH 1918, AGED 23 YEARS. HE LOVED THE MOORS OF DEVON, AND ON HIS LAST VISIT TO LYDFORD, HE WROTE THE FOLLOWING LINES:- ARE WE NOT LIKE THIS MOORLAND STREAM SPRINGING NONE KNOWS WHERE FROM, TINKLING, BUBBLING, FLASHING A GLEAM BACK AT THE SUN; E'ER LONG GLOOMY AND DULL, UNDER A CLOUD, THEN RUSHING ONWARDS AGAIN; DASHING AT ROCKS WITH ANGER LOUD, ROARING AND FOAMING IN VAIN! WANDERING THUS FOR MANY A MILE, TWISTING AND TURNING AWAY FOR A WHILE. THEN OF A SUDDEN OVER THE FALL AND THE DARK STILL POOL IS THE END OF ALL. IS IT? I THOUGHT, AS I TURNED AWAY, AND I TURNED AGAIN TO THE SILENT MOOR. IS IT? I SAID, AND MY HEART SAID NAY! AS I GAZED AT THE CROSS ON WIDGERY TOR.
