Memorial
“Lest We Forget”
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor do the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them
This Memorial page has been set up in Memory of Wrexham Royal Naval Association Branch Members who have sadly crossed the Bar, also for men and women from Wrexham who served in the Royal Navy and died during WW 1

In Memory of Wrexham Royal Naval Association Members who have crossed the Bar
“Crossing the Bar”
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
