This is when our Nation remembers that at 11 am on the 11th month of 1918 the guns fell silent at the end of the First World War. It was called the war to end all wars because of the cost of almost ten million lives. Sadly this war did not end all wars. There have been numerous wars since then, the biggest being the Second World War when fifty five million people lost their lives. Even this did not stop war and since the end of the Second World War in 1945 over 12,000 British service personnel have been killed on active service. It may shock you to learn that even since the end of the Second World War there has only been one year in which British service personnel have not been killed whilst on active service and even in that year a Gurkha soldier was killed whilst serving with British troops. This year Remembrance Sunday fell on 13 Nov. The crew of HMS ENDURANCE like millions of people around the Commonwealth held a Remembrance Sunday Service on the flight deck of the Ship. Some of those attending our service had lost friends and comrades in the Falklands War, The Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq so it was a very important occasion for them. We remember that in war everyone loses. We remember that war is a failure for us to live peaceably with others around the world. We remember that God made us to live in peace with others and that he also desires us to live in freedom with justice. The three need to be balanced as if part of a three legged stool. If one of the legs is not there the stool falls over. As members of the Armed Forces, most of us accept that if someone has peace but not justice or freedom then perhaps the peace they have is not really worth very much, it is incomplete. Sometimes, in order to re-establish justice or freedom, peace may have to be sacrificed for a short time. We do not live in a perfect world. On Remembrance Sunday we remember the sacrifice of those who gave their lives voluntarily and those who had it conscripted from them. We remember their acts of bravery and courage as they overcame their natural fear when engaging in battle. We remember their selfless commitment, devotion to duty, and the laying down of lives for friends, family and people they did not know. We remember those who returned home with the physical and mental scars of war and those who were left at home not knowing what had happened to their loved ones, simply waiting to see who would come home. On Remembrance Sunday we now remember those who died in all wars since the First World War and we also remember in our prayers those who bear the awesome responsibilities for the direction of our world and its peace. Sailors, soldiers and airman especially remember, because it is they who carry on the traditions of courage, bravery and duty that so many have shown in past wars in the laying down of their lives in the cause of peace with justice and freedom for all.
