| Rung with
half-muffled clappers on the 4th anniversary of the open-ing of the
Battle of the Somme and during a Memorial Service held in Sheffield
Cathedral, as a tribute to the hallowed memory of all who made the
supreme sacrifice that day, and in particular to that of the Officers,
Non-commissioned Officers and Men of the Sheffield City Battalion (12th
York and Lancaster Regiment) who on this day, four years ago, in the
van of the British Armies, fell in a gallant attack on the village of
Serre; the Battalion strength being reduced from approx-imately 650 to
10 unwounded of all ranks. This is the first anniversary on which it has been possible to arrange a muffled peal, the Church of Ranmoor being selected, as it was here that the first Battalion Church Parades from [Redmires] camp were held in December, 1914, and here many of those who served worshipped in civil life. |
