===============
These verses were written while Driver Nicholson
was a patient in the 2nd Eastern General Hospital,
16, Lewes Crescent, Kemptown, Brighton, August, 1916.
He has sustained a spinal injury while on service,
which has rendered him incapable of further Active
Military Service, but will remain employed (as far as he is
able) in munition making.

"Greater love hath no man than this."
_____________
In grateful memory of the men who have made
"The Great Sacrifice for us."
_____________
Many men have fought for Britain, on the sodden Flander's
plain ;
Some we know, our own brave townsmen, ne'er will
speak to us again.
They have die for King and County, nobly they their
lives did give,
Ever in our grateful memories will their deeds and valor
live.
_____________
Grieves not then for out noble lads, though cruel be the
wrench,
They gave their lives like soldiers brave, in field or in the
trench ;
Be not <unknown> down, O loving heart, take courage in the
thought
This sacrifice they made for us 'twill not be made for
naught.
Our God knows best, it is His will ; O, why then look
we down,
Look upward, onward bravely ; each cross builds up the
Crown.
From strength to strength then journey on, and blest indeed
are they
Who through each sorrow clearer see the dawn of God's
great day ;
'Who with a sore and a shining heart, can yet send up the
prayer ;
"Thy will, not mine, be done, O God, I trust Thy loving
care" ;
And ever looking upward they soar to heights above,
Until life past, they reach at last, the haven of God's love.
