Private William James O’Dell 100th anniversary 6th November 1917

Fr Andrew O’Dell’s uncle William was killed in action in the first World War and died 100 years ago.

Fr Andrew has a picture of his grave in Poperinge, Belgium. He was  a boy from Hitchin and his name is also on the war memorial in Hitchin. We thank him for his sacrifice so that we might live in peace.

Eternal rest give unto him, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace and rise in glory!
