To you brave spirits, all of you,
men and women of Stockton on Tees
whose names are here recorded as having made
the supreme sacrifice; who gave all that you had,
even life itself, so that England should be saved.
We commend your sense of duty, your high cour-
age and endurance, under conditions so grave, and
against a military attack massed so formidably
that, at times, failure threatened Britain’s existence.
But, along with millions of other Patriots, you
held firm. This roll of 300 honourable names of
Stockton on Tees, compiled as a profound ex-
pression of thanks and gratitude, is here set forth in
the most beautiful traditional manner of a work of
art for the benefit and emulation of a grateful posterity.
Even though we mourn your loss, the dominant
factors in our pride of you are the courage and steadfast-
ness as characterised throughout Britain, ranking
as one of our most precious social possessions.
God be praised
that we had you.
