ROLL OF HONOUR
(A cousin’s tribute to Aircraftsman Jack Langridge, who was lost during operations over the North Sea a week ago). Braving the storm of snow-swept skies and gunfire, He flew with comrades on that epic North Sea flight. Into the silence of the vast deep passing Heroes of the Royal Air Force might. In that Great Hall of Fame where deeds and glory Of British Heroes live, his name shall shine Revered by all, outstanding still in a merit, A Defender of the Faith who served Mankind. Death has not touched these earthly heroes. They mount a vaster, higher plane; Crusaders, they still serve in Glory Their soul force has bloomed, and with the Great Divine they reign. ELLIS LANGRIDGE.
