  Address of Welcome

  On behalf of the Southwick P.M. Church,

  we heartily welcome you home.

  You have helped to win the War by fortitude

  and patience in hardship and trial.  You deter-

  mined that the destruction and sorrow which you

  witnessed abroad would not come to England if

  you could stop it, but you did, and we sincerely

  thank you.

  May every blessing rest upon you.

  To the relatives of those who will never return

  we tender our warm but respectful sympathy and

  will always hold in tender memory all their suffer-

  ings and sacrifice to uphold the honour of England

  and our native Town.

  The Committee.
