IN A NEARBY STREET THIS SHRINE WAS USED DURING THE GREAT WAR TO KEEP IN PRAYERFUL REMEMBRANCE THOSE WHO DIED ON ACTIVE SERVICE. THE WOODEN CROSS ABOVE MARKED FOR MANY YEARS THE LAST RESTING PLACE OF AN UNKNOWN SOLDIER. THE CROSS AND SHRINE ARE HERE PRESERVED THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS MAY NEVER FORGET THE SACRIFICE OF THOSE WHO DIED. "THESE ARE THEY WHICH COME OUT OF GREAT TRIBULATION AND WASHED THEIR ROBES AND MADE THEM WHITE IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. THEREFORE ARE THEY BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD."
