Page 20, Ashburton’s The Courier, Thursday 14 November 2019 Local news at www.starnews.co.nz Aday to remember the sacrifice Around 40 people gathered for the Armistice Day service at the Ashburton Cenotaph on Monday to remember the fallen of past wars, among them veterans and returned service personal. The service, which marks the signing of the treaty in 1918 that saw the end of World War I, was held in bitterly cold, wet conditions and started as the Ashburton town clock struck 11am. It was led by Ashburton RSA president Merv Brenton, with fellow speakers Ashburton deputy mayor Liz McMillan and Salvation Army captain John Stone supported by cornet player Jim Lischner (Last Post and Ode of the Revelry) and the Ashburton Cadet Unit. Mr Brenton apologised for the weather but noted ‘‘this is nothing to what was experienced all those years ago’’. ‘‘101 years ago today the guns fell silent and war ended in what for most, was atime of huge relief, atime to celebrate the knowledge that loved ones would be returning home. ‘‘Today we need to reflect on the effects of wars, how it affects so many lives, their families and the knowledge that success in war always delivers casualties and hidden costs many left with physical scars, many with hidden mental scars. ‘‘Today it is the human lives sacrificed and those Atime to reflect: Peter and Gwenda Ireland at the service. suffering from the traumas of war that we need to remember.’’ Mr Brenton said greed was behind most war events and modern technology brought it into our homes in more vivid detail than ever before. ‘‘We can’t live in the past, that’s gone, but we can learn from their past and their mistakes, the effects and the need to protect what we believe is rightfully ours. We can do it in adiplomatic, nonconfrontational manner, by getting on with neighbours by treating people and property with respect, what we have now came and continues to come at ahuge cost, something we don’t want to go through again and again, and something that appears on the surface to be forgotten by many. ‘‘To all the men and women who went to war a century ago, those that have been involved in recent conflicts, those that stayed and keep our great country safe for us, and defending our place in paradise, thank you so much. We will never forget.’’ Check out the video at ashburtoncourier.co.nz Ashburton RSA president Merv Brenton Cadets, and Jim Lischner on the cornet.
