  Let us Pray.

       OUR Father, which art in Heaven, Hallowed by Thy Name, Thy Kingdom

  come, Thy Will be done, in earth as it is in Heaven.  Give us this day our daily

  bread, And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us;

  And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the

  Kingdom, The power and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.

       ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, we give Thee humble thanks for the

  memory and good example of Thy servants of the Machine Gun Corps (Cavalry)

  who have laid down their lives in the service of our Country.  We bless Thee for

  their courage and devotion; accept their sacrifice, we pray Thee; let it not be in

  vain that they have died in the cause of righteousness and honour.  And as they

  have come out of great tribulation, grant them, O Lord, that they may be pardoned

  and cleansed in the blood of the Lamb, and received into Thy everlasting mercy;

  through Jesus Christ our Lord, to Whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all

  honour and glory, world without end. Amen.

       O HEAVENLY Father, Whose blessed Son, Jesus Christ, did weep at the grave

  of Lazarus, His friend, look, we beseech Thee, with compassion upon these who

  are now in sorrow and affliction; comfort them, O Lord, with Thy gracious

  consolations; make them to know tht all things work together for good to them

  that love Thee; and grant them evermore sure trust and confidence in Thy

  fatherly care; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

  
  

  HYMN (Part I).

  f    FOR all the Saints, who from their labours rest,

  Who Thee by faith before the world confess'd,

  They Name, O Jesu, be fore ever bless'd.

                                                         Alleluia!

  Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might;

  Thou, LORD, their Captain in the well-fought fight;

  Thou in the darkness drear their one true Light.

                                                         Alleluia!

  O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,

  Fight as the Saints who nobly fought of old,

  And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.

                                                         Alleluia!

  Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the Machine Gun

  realise the peace of sins forgiven, the joy of faithful service, and the
