World War 1 Book of Common Prayer

The Cover

A Soldier’s Prayer

The page Written in by my Grandfather

Whilst looking through the loft I found an old book of Common Prayer.  As I had mislaid mine I asked my Mum if I could have it thinking it was my Father’s.

On closer examination I found the entry above to be written by my paternal Grandfather Lewis Roworth.  I knew that he had been in the First World War in the Manchester pals and had been a prisoner of war and made to work down a coal mine.  The entry confirmed this and led me to find out a little more about how he was captured.  To see the full story see this link.
