| 4 | Address preached at the funeral service of William Arthur Douglas Middleton. 17.11.81. 'Blessed are those of a gentle spirit, they shall have the earth for their possession. All of us are gathered here this morning to give thanks to God for the life of Billy Middleton, to share together our love in Christ for this man, am as fellow Christians to mark with faith and hope his passing from us into that place where he now sees the Father 'not through a glass darkly, but face to face.' And though of course today is marked with sadness on a human level, what cen one be but thankful to God for Billy's life? Thankful for over 50 years of married life to Mabel, thankful for seeing in his quiet , unobtrusive faith the fruit of the Spirit born in gentleness and love. When I spoke to someone last week who had dust heard of Billy '8 death she said 'He was such a gentleman' and doesn't that describe Billy so well.. a gentle man. , , am his gentleness being the very thing which allowed people to accept his help when they most needed it. Mabel has had numerous letters from people whom Billy helped , when they needed it, always attesting to the fact that at their greatest moment of need was there. And how many people over the years Billy must have helped, meeting their needs as a dispenserin the Chemists in which he worked ; 29 years in Commercial Rd, arn then many more in Drayton. All manner of need met with hie gentleness am care. Today we give thanks for all that. And Billy's faith was that which gave him the reason for ell this; the love of Christ in him was something simply to be shared with others. When his father died during the First World War Billy began life as an errand boy, working so that he could help hie mother, studying on his own after work so that he could learn the complicated world of dispen?ing medicines. But the thing about Billy I will always remember is that his caring for others was such a part of himself that it seemed so simple. There was never any 'fuss' about Billy's caring; it was s imply living the Christian life(in a way that few of us achieve) So today we give thanks to God for someone whose presence amongst us, and whose life lived for others, both beautified us and the world, and glorified God daily. Amen. | Middleton, William Arthur Douglas (I00322)

| 15 | CHARLES ROY WILKINSON C/SKX 1525 Stoker 2nd Class, Royal Navy, H.M.S. Vimiera Lost at sea 9th January 1942 aged 19 He was a bachelor, born on 12th November 1922, 11th of the 13 children of William and Annie Wilkinson who lived at 14 The Green, Scotter. The family called him Charlie and to friends he was known as 'Channy'. His brothers and sisters were named Joseph, Alice, Annie, John William, Robert, Mary, Leonard, Rose, Jessie, Herbert and Isobel ('Belle'). He was baptised at St. Peter's Church on 15th January 1924 and attended the local school and Wesleyan Chapel. Charlie became a lorry driver's mate and seems to have been a likeable young man who was quite popular with the ladies. At the outbreak of the Second World War he had a reserved occupation but chose to serve his King and Country by joining the Royal Navy. HMS Vimiera was a fast escort destroyer built by Swan Hunter and launched in June 1917. She took part in several actions in the Great War with the 2nd Light Cruiser Section. During peace time she was mostly laid up at Rosyth and when the Second World War began she was undergoing a refit which was completed in January 1940. She began duty escorting convoys along the East coast. By May 1940 the 'blitzkrieg' had swept the British armies back to the channel ports. On 22nd May, in an effort to hold the port of Boulogne, 2 battalions of the Guards were sent escorted by the Whitshed and the Vimiera. It soon became evident that the port was doomed and the next day she and 4 other vessels brought out 1000 men each under close range of enemy fire. The Vimiera returned back across the Channel and, in darkness, crept back into the harbour and laid alongside a jetty. Everything was silent and after a time a mob of civilian refugees and French and Belgian troops appeared and rushed on board. A messenger was sent to collect the thousand Guards still around the town and by 2:45am some 1500 people were packed on board. The ship left the jetty leaving 300 Welsh Guardsmen to wait for another ship, which sadly never came. Under heavy shellfire she returned to Dover. The Vimiera was ordered back and with the HMS Wessex, another destroyer, was shelling a German armoured column proceeding along a seaside road near Calais. They were joined by the Polish destroyer Burza. In the late afternoon, as they fired aat tanks, 27 enemy planes appeared above them. The first round of bombs hit the Wessex which soon sank. The Vimiera was badly damaged and had to stay behind a smoke screen unable to take further part in the fighting. The air attack concentrated on the Burza and after the planes had dropped all their bombs the Vimiera managed to limp back to Sheerness. After repairs were made she returned to her mundane duties of convoy escort up and down the East coast from the Humber to the Thames. On 9th January 1942 the Vimiera was escorting a southbound convoy when she struck a mine and sank in the Thames Estuary, off the Nore light, 3 miles from the Isle of Sheppey. The ship disintegrated forward of the aft funnel and 92 members of the crew perished. The wreck is an official War Grave. Charlie is remembered on the Chatam Memorial. Two years after he died a memoriam was placed in the 'Gainsborough News':- "A happy sailor boy so free; Who did his bit, and sailed the sea, We little thought when home he left, To sail to his eternal rest" From Mother and Dad. | Wilkinson, Charles Roy (I00492)
