'CROSLAND MOOR MEMORIAL. Window Unveiled and Dedicated in the Parish Church The war memorial window erected in the Crosland Moor Parish Church to the Crosland men who fell in the war was unveiled on Sunday afternoon. There was an attendance of fully 1,400 persons, and the ceremony was unique in that for the first time in the history of Crosland Moor all denominations were represented in the Paris Church for a public service. Councillor John Sykes (Wesleyans) unveiled the window, which was afterwards dedicated by Archdeacon Harvey. The first lesson was read by the Rev. A. H. Eames (Rehoboth Baptist Church), and the second lesson by the Rev. H. Sunman (United Methodist Church) . The order of service was as follows: Opening hymn "Let saints on earth in concert bring", followed by sentences from the burial service, read by the vicar, the Rev. T. K. Killam. Then followed Psalm xxiii, "The Lord is my Shepherd, after which the first lesson was read, and the second, Psalm cxxxi "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills," was sung, and the second lesson read. Then came the "O valiant hearts, who to your glory came," which was sung at Westminster Abbey on the occasion of the unknown soldier's memorial service. The churchwardens, bearing their staffs of office, conducted the ministers and laymen from the chancel seats to the window for the unveiling ceremony. Here they remained whilst the impressive ceremony of unveiling and dedicating the window was finished, then the procession returned to their seats in the church. Addresses were delivered by Councillor John Sykes and Archdeacon Harvey. The other hymns sung were "God of the living," "For ever with the Lord,” ”O God, our help in ages past." The impressive service concluded with the National Anthem.
MEMORIAL DESCRIBED. The window, consisting of three lights, is in the south aisle of the church. The centre light, indicating "The Sacrifice," contains a figure of Christ in regal robes as the King of Kings bestowing a blessing from Paradise upon a sailor and a soldier in service dress, the one standing and the other kneeling in an attitude of devotion. In the sidelights appear St Stephen, first Christian martyr, and St Alban the first British martyr - men who gave their lives for a cause as did our soldiers and sailors. In the centre light, high up, is the text: "Mors Janua Vitae" ("Death is the gate of life"). Among other details are the arms of Huddersfield, Diocese of Wakefield, and Province of York. At the foot of each light, on tablets, are the 82 names of the fallen. The collections realised the sum of £29 10s 5d, and will be devoted to the Window Fund, which still needs about £50 to defray the cost'.
