Alfred Moorsom was grandson of the Revd Robert Maude Moorsom, an elder brother to my great grand father, Warren. This makes his death feel personal and brings home the tragedy of any war, and especially 'the war to end all wars'. Sadly, it has not achieved that end: maybe this Centenary commemoration will remind us of the great cost and suffering as well as of the courage and sacrifice of so many, and warn us not to go down such a path again.
