REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY
11th November 2018
Commemoration of the Centenary
of the Armistice ending the Great War
Requiem (Setting by Gabriel Fauré)
With Choir and Orchestra Directed by Richard Hobson
The Service opened with the gathering in silence of the Congregation and the entry in procession of the Sacred Ministers and the laying of a wreath of Flanders Poppies to the recitation of the traditional words of Lawrence Binyon taken from his poem For the Fallen. It then being exactly 11 o’clock, The Two Minute’s Silence began, as observed across the nation, in accord with the tradition started by King George V in 1919, to mark the 11thhour of the 11thday of the 11thMonth, when the Armistice which ended the First World War, signed in Compiegne, came into effect one hundred years ago. This silence ended with the sounding of the Last Post and the firing of the traditional 21 Gun Salute by the Kings Troop, The Royal Horse Artillery (using 13Pdr Field Guns they still use for State Gun Salutes that were first developed at the time of the Boer War and remained standard issue at the start of the First World War).
The National Anthem was sung whereafter the Choir sang the Introit and Kyrie.
FirstReading: Jonah3.1-5,10

THE SERMON
The Revd. Canon Alistair Macdonald-Radcliff
Words From “The Strange Meeting”:
“Strange friend,” I said, “here is no causeto mourn.”
“None,” said the other, “save the undone years,
The hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours,
Was my life also; I went hunting wild
After the wildest beauty in the world,
Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hair,
But mocks the steady running of the hour,
And if it grieves, grieves richlier than here.
From the Gospel of St. Mark, 1,14: Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.’
In the name of God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost…..
It was President Woodrow Wilson who made famous a phrase first forged by H.G. Wells[1]when he declared that the First World War “Is a war to end all wars” while adding brightly (in justification of his declaration of war on Germany), that it would also “make the world safe for democracy”. In the event, after it was ended with the armistice we commemorate today, it was followed by what David Fromkin has aptly called (and used as the title of his book) A Peace to End All Peace, or to put that another way “Only the dead have seen the end of war” as George Santayana observed in 1922[2](in a repost to Wilson). Thus, it could well be argued that much of world history ever since has been a series of footnotes to the First World War.
The Great War, as it was called at the time, was clearly an appalling calamity and we commemorate its end one hundred years ago with an intense ambivalence, for that ending was much celebrated in 1918, and yet we are also horrified by its human cost
While exact figures can be debated, estimates suggest that around 10 million military personnel died, and 7 million civilians, with 21 million wounded, and around 7.7 million missing and/or imprisoned.[3]
The Second World War, which was in so many ways a legacy of the First, left something over 60 million people dead[4]with somewhere between 38 to 55 million civilians killed, including 13 to 20 million from war-related disease and famine.
At the risk of blurring the hideousness of all this, amidst a blizzard of statistics, it is also worth recalling that the worldwide spread of the Communist movement (which we may note was avowedly secular) that started during the World War I, after the seizure of the Winter Palace in St Petersburg in 1917, has claimed — as it moved across Russia and then China, Eastern Europe, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia around 100 million lives, so far.[5]
So much then for World War I’s legacy of peace….But quite apart from the horrifying scale of the loss of life in the century that followed, there is too, another epochal aspect, which we are still seeing unfold, and this is the impact on the place of Western Civilization in the world.
Strangely, I have never seen an analysis of the subsequent societal impact on Britain, Germany France and other European nations of losing so many of an entire generation of future leaders among those killed in the trenches of the Somme, but it has to have been of world historical import.[6]
In addition, we have also to recall that the series of missteps and disasters in the Middle East which ultimately led to 9/11 –the event that will probably come to be seen as marking the real beginning of the present century– had their origins in the Post War settlement and collapse of the Ottoman Empire.
And yet there is still more that we commemorate today, more even than all those killed and injured in the First and Second World Wars –hugely important and right though that commemoration is.
For we think too of other conflicts with complex histories. Thus I recall that Queen Victoria on one occasion only, in the course of her long reign, flatly refused to read part of a Queen’s Speech (the “Gracious Speech” as it is called in Westminster) which is at the heart of state openings of Parliament. Her reason was that there was a reference in the offending text to Britain withdrawing from Afghanistan, an action she simply refused to countenance, however disastrous our first forays there had been. But then, as she wrote firmly in 1899, “We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat”[7].
Yet just that, has in fact been an enduring challenge for every foreign power that has engaged with Afghanistan ever since, down to the present day.
So it is that we commemorate as well today, the 453 British Service men and women who died in the thirteen year period of Britain’s last military involvement in Afghanistan that ended with the lowering of the Union flag at Camp Bastion in Helmand Province in October 2014.
One of the men killed in Afghanistan, understanding the deadly risks he faced in doing the work to which he was committed as a soldier (in the SAS) in that often deadly conflict, wrote a precautionary letter to his family, to be read only in the event of his death, as so very sadly it later was.
His words are telling,
“Please trust me that no matter what the circumstances of my death,
no matter how fast, no matter how slow, I was strong, without fear and without pain.
My only suffering will be the realisation that I will not see my family and friends again.”
And then he added, clearly entirely assured of his own continuing reality through death in this life that:
“The thing you have to cope with is not the loss of my soul,
but the loss of my physical presence.”
It is, as ever, the particularities of the individual killed in war, when we come to know something of that person, which bring home to us the depth of the loss involved in every single case.
No matter how many millions die in conflicts, each life ended is a deeply moving loss, leaving in this world of our experience an irreplaceable void.
All of which brings out that the task before us in the face of such calamity is to search and to dwell upon the meaning.
And that is true perhaps especially when the circumstances seem, from the perspective we have here and now in this world, to be particularly hard.
Wilfred Owen, died in 1918 just days before the Armistice, and in so many other cases it is tempting to ask –after men died securing this or that single trench, or fortification, or were left stranded as in the case of the Dardanelles (the ancient Hellespont), or the Guardsmen aboard the Sir Galahad in the Falkland’s: what wasthe point?
In the case of Afghanistan very senior military figures ultimately resigned over what they saw sharply as the scandal involved in sending out troops in the notorious SnatchLand-Rovers that could not negotiate the terrain and had almost no armour plating to stop the flying bullets…[8]
Yet, if anything, such bitter realities only sharpen the particular meaning and particular value that the example of sacrifice offered here presents. The force of that sacrifice stands, regardless of the immediate context in which any serviceman or woman’s life is taken.
By this I mean that the willingnessto offer the ultimate sacrifice of one’s life in service of the Sovereign and the Nation (and thereby the good).
The fact of that remarkable resolve is implicit from the start of all service in the armed forces– and it challenges uniquely, the shallow banalities which so much in contemporary culture offers us, by way of distraction from the vital question of what meaning our lives really have. (Just as the lives of the martyrs and saints of the Church do also and those committed to the fulness of religious life.) Commitment at such a level is a life defining act that only makes sense within a particular world view and deeply held beliefs.
This also points to just why the near sacrifice by Abraham of Isaac is so powerful (an episode that the Lectionary sometimes presents on this day). That represents what for most of us must seem a near impossible level of faith and commitment –expressed in a willingness to sacrifice that which Abraham most valued, even if –at the last possible moment—that price did not have to be paid and Isaac was spared.
All of this also calls us to recognise the deep fact that ultimate meaning in our lives is always to be found in the other. It is always outside the self – not in that ever more demanding ego which urges us always to put the self first — in a state of radically anarchic self-absorption– which our culture seems ever more strongly to commend .[9] To give in and do that is of course to loseoneself – this illustrates the radically paradoxical nature of ultimate meaning in this life.
When I last had the privilege of preaching on a Remembrance Sunday here (in 2015) I ended by drawing attention to the insight of George Steiner’s argument (in the End of Tragedy) that true tragedy seems to require a universe of real —which is to say transcendent— meaning, which is why it is so plausible to argue that in a post-modern universe —where the possibility of such truly deep meaning is effectively denied— we arrive ultimately not merely with Fukuyama at the end of history but at the end of tragedy as well.
To make the point another way, “tragedy is that form of art which requires the intolerable burden of God’s presence”which is why George Steiner argued that true tragedy is now dead because “His shadow no longer falls upon us as it fell on Agamemnon, or Macbeth or Athalie”.
The metaphysical universe of Christianity thus (in yet another aspect of paradox) makes real the possibility of tragedy (in contrast to the utter meaninglessness and ultimate chaos of nihilism) even as it also points to the possibility, and further, the actuality, of a redeemed world that therefore escapes tragedy. (For the Christian, life can never in the end be tragic in the classical sense.)
Is there not also disclosed here, a vital epistemic presupposition – which is made evident by asking, “What must be the case in order to ground the possibility of ultimate meaning?” Does not coherence itself, depend upon a common apprehension of objective value to which we may communally appeal? Without such a state of affairs language itself will not work. As the philosopher Bernard Williams observed, “Children learn language in many ways and in many different kinds of situation, but one essential way is that they hear sentences being used in situations in which those situations are plainly true.”[10]
Grant this, and it becomes clear that one consequence of the loss of any authority sufficiently transcendent to command a common allegiance is ultimately the loss of the possibility of sustaining a common discourse too – something we see all around us, despite the supposedly ever wider bounds of globalization.
The fallen whom we commemorate then today, stand thus with timeless importance for the possibility of transcendent meaning and the claim upon us of true good, over and above the passing fancies that can only ever be the stuff of mere human constructs
As Bernard Williams further observed, in the context of literature, “Authority accrues to possession of, or capacity for, truth of the high order that readers from Aristotle to Friedrich Nietzsche have associated with the books most worth reading” and it was Nietzsche who observed (in The Birth of Tragedy to which Steiner was responding) that more specifically, “Poetry desires to be [. . .] the unvarnished expression of the truth” –a point that brings us in one step to the complex poem we have just heard by Wilfred Owen, namely “The Strange Meeting”
That poem is an extraordinarily imagined dialogue between the two soldiers, set in a dream-like context that is in fact Hell. Yet, while enemies in war, one greets the other as a friend and the two become reconciled in the end: “Let us sleep now…” This poem is one with many layers to it and much technical sophistication[11], yet it is well established that Owen took both the title and the basic plot of “Strange Meeting” from his hero Shelley’s (misleadingly entitled) The Revolt of Islam[12],While that plot is changed and greatly shortened, it is recognizably the same core plot.
In Owen’s poem, the dreaming narrator echoes thus the character Laon in Shelley’s poem, and opens with a deeply strange vision/experience set in the underworld wherein he meets a shade who greets him,
‘With piteous recognition in fixed eyes,
Lifting distressful hands as if to bless.’
But what perhaps matters more are not the parallels of plot, but rather, Shelley’s conception of what the “true poet” is and does, for here again, the poem meets Shelley’s ideals where, for him, one of the key functions of poetry is that it refines and immortalizes beauty. And so it is that, as “The Strange Meeting” expresses this, it shows itself “richlier” than in the real world, of our immediate experience and attains to a reality that is no longer subject to time and change, “But mocks the steady running of the hour”:
“Poetry thus makes immortal all that is best and most beautiful in the world; … Poetry redeems from decay the visitations of the divinity in man” (as Shelley put it in, A Defence of Poetry 1051/2).
Even the fact that Owen’s dead poet makes prophetic statements, about what the world will be like after the war, has Shelley’s warrant, for part of Shelley’s argument in the Defence is concerned with his conviction that prophecy is an essential “attribute of poetry.”
The poet, “not only beholds intensely the present as it is, and discovers those laws according to which present things ought to be ordered, but beholds the future in the present,” which enables poets to “foreknow the true spirit of events” (Shelley 1026- 27).
Another informing principle is Shelley’s conception of empathy, the capacity for imaginative sympathy, as the human faculty out of which true poetry springs, and the one to which it is addressed, for ultimately here, the great secret of morals is love; or a going out of our own nature, and an identification of ourselves with the beautiful, which exists in thought, action, or person, not our own. A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and of many others; the pains and pleasures of his species must become his own.
The great instrument of moral good is the imagination; and poetry administers to the effect by acting upon the cause. . . .
Poetry strengthens the faculty which is the organ of the moral nature of man, in the same manner as exercise strengthens a limb. (Shelley, op cit. 1032-33)
Here too is a key claim of Shelley that informs Owen’s work also, in identifying the central importance of “the sole law” of “Love” in his poem, saying that in it “There is no quarter given to Revenge, or Envy, or Prejudice. Love is celebrated every where as the sole law which should govern the moral world”.
To say all this is to forge for poetry a role of extraordinary grandeur and for the poet a unique vocation to speak of what is most true and real and thus enable us to grasp this too. Such a perspective does much perhaps to explain why it is poetry that has become so powerful in shaping how we have grappled with both the horrors and the meaning of the Great War in particular, as it brings out with unique force the weight of meaning that attaches to the lives that were lost.
So too can it give new insight now for us into the weight of those famous words with which our service today began, before the two minute’s silence and the Last Post, written by Lawrence Binyon in For the Fallen, for
…Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
And it is because of the witness to important truths embodied in such sacrifice that we can truly say
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
AMEN

[2]In his book Soliloquies in England and Later Soliloquies
[3]It is worth noting as Dan Snow has recently pointed out that an earlier conflict was possibly even more bloody namely that in southern China of the mid nineteenth century. Conservative estimates put the number dead in the 14-year Taiping rebellion as being between 20 million and 30 million. In terms of percentage of the population killed, the figure was 2% for Britain in WW1, and this was actually was half that suffered by the population during the Civil War when 4% of the population of England and Wales died, while an even higher proportion died in Scotland and Ireland. See,https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-25776836. Again, re. WW1, of the 6 million men mobilized in Britain 700,000 died which, as a proportion of those under arms, was in fact lower than that of the Crimean War of 1853-56)
[4]Estimates range from 50-80 million

[6]About 12% of the British army’s enlisted soldiers were killed during the war, but 17% of its officers. Eton alone lost more than 1,000 former pupils – amounting to 20% of those who served from that one school. The wartime Prime Minister Herbert Asquith lost a son, and the future Prime Minister Andrew Bonar Law lost two. Anthony Eden lost twobrothers and another very severely wounded, and an uncle was captured.During the course of the was over 200 Generals were killed which reflects their close engagement in the conflict.
[7]December 1899 letter to Arthur Balfour during the “Black Week” of the Boer War, although, according to Lady Gwendolen Cecil, this was a verbal statement to Mr. Balfour in Windsor, as recorded in her biography of her Father, Life of Robert, marquis of Salisbury, volume 3 (1921). Another phrase that speaks to her personality of resolve, arose after being shot at by Roderick Maclean on 2 March 1882, when she observed that
“It is worth being shot at to see how much one is loved.” –quoted in Stanley Weintraub, Victoria. Biography of a queen(1987), p. 450.
[8]In another dark episode 14 RAF crew members died in the Nimrod XV230plane crash in September 2016 over Helmand, that was later deemed to have been preventable by Charles Haddon-Cave QC, in his official 586-page report issued in 2004.
[9]To borrow a phrase of David Lyle Jeffrey in discussing Terry Eagleton, Can Faustus be Saved?
[10]See his Truth and Truthfulness, p.45. In the words of Alexander Prescott-Couch: Bernard Williams, in this work, “…seeks to defend the value of truth from so-called “deniers,” those who deny that truth plays an important role in our lives. For Williams, defending the value of truth involves defending the “virtues of truth,” that is, dispositions that lead one to acquire and espouse true beliefs. In Williams’s account, these dispositions are two: Sincerity and Accuracy.The former is the disposition to express what one believes when appropriate, while the latter is directed toward acquiring reliable information through carefully weighing evidence and avoiding self-deception and wishful thinking. Williams is concerned to define and defend these dispositions as well as show how agents can be motivated to manifest them.
[11]For example, Owen shows deft mastery of pararhyme, where the stressed vowels differ but the consonants are similar, and uses this technique throughout the poem – e.g. note the end words: escaped/scooped, groined/groaned, bestirred/stared. Again, while written in iambic pentameter overall, there are lines that vary and in doing so challenge the reader to alter the emphasis on certain words and phrases. (eg from lines 7, 27, and 30:
- With pit / eous re /cognit / ion in / fixed eyes, (Where the first foot is iambic (non stress, stress ux), the second foot a pyrrhic (no stress, no stress, uu), the third another iamb, the fourth another pyrrhic and the fifth foot a spondee (stress, stress xx).
- Or, dis / content, / boil blood / y, and / be (where rhe first foot is a trochee (stress, no stress, xu), the second is an iamb (no stress, stress ux), the third a spondee (stress,stress xx), the fourth an iamb (no stress, stress ux) and the fifth foot an iamb.
- Courage / was mine, / and I / had mys / tery. (where again, a trochee ( inverted iamb) starts the line before the iambic beat takes over the rest.
The iambic pentameter reflects the steady almost conversational natural pace of speech, whilst the variations bring uncertainty, altered beats which echo battle and bring texture and added interest for the reader. (see Andrew Spacey, “Analysis of Poem “Strange Meeting” by Wilfred Owen”, in Owlcati
[12]Though another source of manifest influence was Shelley’s Prometheus Unbound with its “Zoroasrtrian underworld of the unconscious ‘underneath the grave’…” (Alan Tomlinson, “Wilfred Owen and Shellley”, Studies in Romanticism, Vol. 32, No. 1, Spring, 1993. The ultimate and very grand claim of Shelley, to which Owen is heir is that that inspired poets can reveal deep truths to their readers, and those readers learn them through the imaginative “experience” that the act of reading confers (empathy) thus here,we are invited to the recognition that to feel hatred, and to act upon it, both corrupt the spirit and creates enemies rather than eliminating them, a perspective this also ultimately one drawing upon our shared humanity. In Shelley’s Prometheus a key moment of insight and transformation comes when he says (of his earlier curse of Jupiter) “It doth repent me: words are quick and vain;/Grief for a while is blind and so was mine./ I wish no living thing to suffer pain.
APPENDIX
“The Strange Meeting”:
By Wilfred Owen, 1893 – 1918
It seemed that out of the battle I escaped
Down some profound dull tunnel, long since scooped
Through granites which titanic wars had groined.
Yet also there encumbered sleepers groaned,
Too fast in thought or death to be bestirred.
Then, as I probed them, one sprang up, and stared
With piteous recognition in fixed eyes,
Lifting distressful hands as if to bless.
And by his smile, I knew that sullen hall,
By his dead smile I knew we stood in Hell.
With a thousand pains that vision’s face
was grained;
Yet no blood reached there from the upper ground,
And no guns thumped, or down the flues
made moan.
“Strange friend,” I said, “here is no cause
to mourn.”
“None,” said the other, “save the undone years,
The hopelessness. Whatever hope is yours,
Was my life also; I went hunting wild
After the wildest beauty in the world,
Which lies not calm in eyes, or braided hair,
But mocks the steady running of the hour,
And if it grieves, grieves richlier than here.
For by my glee might many men have laughed,
And of my weeping something had been left,
Which must die now. I mean the truth untold,
The pity of war, the pity war distilled.
Now men will go content with what we spoiled.
Or, discontent, boil bloody, and be spilled.
They will be swift with swiftness of the tigress,
None will break ranks, though nations trek
from progress.
Courage was mine, and I had mystery,
Wisdom was mine, and I had mastery;
To miss the march of this retreating world
Into vain citadels that are not walled.
Then, when much blood had clogged their
chariot-wheels
I would go up and wash them from sweet wells,
Even with truths that lie too deep for taint.
I would have poured my spirit without stint
But not through wounds; not on the cess of war.
Foreheads of men have bled where no
wounds were.
I am the enemy you killed, my friend.
I knew you in this dark; for so you frowned
Yesterday through me as you jabbed and killed.
I parried; but my hands were loath and cold.
Let us sleep now…”
