Almighty God, from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed: kindle in the hearts of all people the true love of peace; and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom those who take counsel for the nations of the earth; that in tranquillity your kingdom may go forward, till the earth is filled with the knowledge of thy love;

through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen

O God, the fountain of all goodness, bless our Sovereign Lord, King Charles and all who are in authority under him; that they may order all things in wisdom and equity, righteousness and peace, to the honour of your name, and the good of your Church and people;

through Jesus Chris our Lord, Amen

Act of Remembrance with the words of the Mayor of Cape Town, South Africa spoken in May 1918:

It is due to the women, who have lost and suffered and borne so much, with whom the thought is ever present; it is due to the children to whom they owe their dear-fought freedom; it is due to the men, and from them, as men.  But above all else, it is due to those who gave their all, sought no recompense, and whom we can never repay - our Glorious and Immortal Dead.
