The tablet which presents a rich and handsome appearance was supplied by Messrs. W. J. Southwood & Co., Heraldic Engravers and Illustrators, Exeter, and at the conclusion of the service was much admired by members of the large congregation who then had an opportunity of studying it closely for the first time.

Prior to the unveiling ceremony the tablet stood on a large easel on the platform which was draped in black surmounted by a wreath of laurels.

All the musical portions of the service were sympathetically led by the military band under Bandmaster Vince.

The prelude to the service was the playing of O’Hara’s ‘The Perfect Melody,’ and the introductory remarks were made by Rev. R. R. Sayers, who had been at one time connected with the Enniskillen Circuit and served as a chaplain to the forces in France.

Rev. Sayers said he felt highly honoured at been asked to take part in what, he was sure, would prove an historic service in the annals of their Church. Their duty that day was a sad one and yet a sadly pleasurable one. They felt that they could not allow the years to go past without putting into some tangible form the feelings of honour and respect they entertained for those from amongst them who had served their King and Country so nobly and well during the great war. It had not been his privilege as chaplain, to be with the brave men whose names and deeds they were commemorating that day, but he had had the pleasure and privilege of knowing them all, with one exception, during the three years he had served on that circuit. It had been a great disappointment to him that he had not been posted to the 36^th Division in France, but though not with them he had come in touch with them more than once as he was with the 55^th Division, which was often in close touch with the Ulster boys. He had now the very pleasurable duty of asking the Right Hon. E. M. Archdale, D.L., M.P., to unveil the tablet. There was a great fitness in their choice of a gentleman to perform this unveiling ceremony. Mr. Archdale was truly a man of the people as he was their representative in the House of Commons, was Deputy Lieutenant for the county and had also shared in the common sacrifice for his King and Country.

The Right Hon. E. M. Archdale, D.L., M.P., then unveiled the memorial tablet and in doing so said it was to him a great privilege to come there and assist in doing honour to those members of that congregation who had given their lives to maintain the safety of their homes, the honour of the Empire, and the freedom of the world. They would never forget the noble deeds of these brave men.

The Hymn “For all the Saints Who from their Labour Rest” having been sung, Rev. R. R. Sayers in introducing Major Falls, said they were all very glad to have him on the platform with them that day. Major Falls was not only an officer to his men, but was also their personal friend who had been closely associated with them in the days of peace and again in days of very actual peril and danger throughout the fighting in France and Flanders.

Major Falls then read out the list of those men from the congregation who had served in the war and who had subsequently returned home. He appreciated very much the honour that had been done him in asking him to take part in that memorial ceremony. He thought, as one of the previous speakers had said, that this would prove to be an historic ceremony in connection with that Church. Such ceremonies as that made him feel inexpressively sad as they reminded him of the many dear and gallant comrades who now lay in their lonely graves in France and made him realise the great responsibility he had taken on himself, of inducing so many of them to join the army when the existence of their Empire was in danger. But looking back he thought he had acted rightly for two reasons. In the first place it was the bounden duty of these men to answer the call of King and Country no matter what the consequences and indeed these particular men was so deeply imbued with bravery and with patriotism that nothing could have restrained them from joining. He had been asked to say a few words as to what they were and as to what they did in the great war. As to what they were he could tell them in a very few words. As the Ulster division was second to no other division in the British Army so were the men from Fermanagh second to no other men in the Ulster Division. They fought like heroes and died with a brave smile on their lips. As to what they did in France he preferred to give them the record of what their Division had done as recorded in an “order of the day,” dated 3^rd July, 1916, by Major-General Nugent, D.S.O., commanding the 36^th Division, and an officer not given to promiscuous praise.

Proceeding, Major Falls said that was the story of the men they mourned and honoured that day. The Last Post would shortly be sounded in that Church, but it was his firm and sincere conviction that for these gallant men the Reveille had already sounded and that they had wakened in a far better world than this, to await those who were to follow them. Such unselfish sacrifice, such patriotism, such Christianity, had been theirs that they had laid down their lives that others might live in freedom.

The Hymn “Peace, Perfect Peace,” having been feelingly rendered by the whole congregation, Rev. R. R. Sayers delivered a touching and most interesting address from the text 12^th Chapter of Joshua and 4^th verse-“And these stones shall be made a memorial onto the Children of Israel for ever.”

In the course of his remarks the speaker describes some of his experiences as a Chaplain in France and in concluding said that although they did not know all the details they might feel sure that the dear boys whose death they were now commemorating had done their part well and that they were not found wanting in the day of trial.

The Dead March in “Saul” having been rendered by the band, the “Last Post” was sounded, and a memorable service terminated with the pronouncing of the Benediction and the singing of the National Anthem.
