The exact location is no longer remembered by too many though the numbers involved were significant . On a cold spring morning men began to congregate, first they joined up a few at a time and more and more, gathered . Until they numbered in the tens of thousands ,cold wet hungry and tired , and filled with fear they trudged . The injured and sick were carried, some limped along slowly they kept coming .The sky was a dark green of unsettled similar to that of a impending hurricane or a tornado, the wind carrying light rain ,and still no comfort for the men , they stood silent still waiting .The company commander summoned the band , the drums were placed as to form a alter then draped and covered with the flags, banners ,and company colours. The service opened with the national anthem and men of religious teachings began to speak, their voices drowned out by wind and thunder made it difficult to give a sermon but they continued to do so .Two hymns were chosen “abide by me “ and “amazing grace” The entire valley of suffering was now filled with men’s voices ,tens of thousands ,of men voices. A benediction was presented and the men to bid peace to each other and carry on ,dismissed . No the sky never cleared the wind and rain didn’t give up ,and the men dispersed, just as they had showed up, some by themselves, some in numbers . What the men did leave with was unity ,security ,and peace of mind ,and a connection of a Easter service that would have taken place in their own home town ,some untold thousands of miles away.When they left they didn’t feel the cold or the hunger or the pain as badly as before . They have had a respite from the shelling and the gun fire and heard the word of God and teachings of Jesus and all the comfort that believing ,has given us ~ Copey
