And of his son and grandson,
Captain Philip Sylvester Alexander,

Lieut. Charles Godfrey Alexander,
8th Kings Royal Irish Hussars,
Killed in Action in Korea 3rd. Jan. 1951 Aged 22.
My sword I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage,
And my courage and skill to him that can get it,
My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me,
That I have fought his battles who will now be my rewarder
So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him
On the other side.

A Fine Elm With A Human Face In Profile At Sutton Veny

A picture postcard produced by Alfred Vowles showing the view west along Norton Road, Sutton Veny, from near the south lodge of Greenhill House (later renamed Sutton Veny House) looking towards the crossroads by the Woolpack.

Mr. Vowles, who was from Somerset, took many photographs of scenes in the Warminster area, particularly of the military camps during the First World War. He usually penned a title for each scene he depicted and this card was no exception.

He titled it: ‘An entrance to Sutton Veny showing the fine elm with a human face in profile.’ The outline of a forehead, eyebrow, nose, moustache, mouth, chin and beard can be seen on the left side of the tree’s branches and foliage.

The photograph was taken in 1915.
