This week, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War, CATA, the Trowbridge Christian Churches together group, were kindly given permission to visit the schools of St Augustines and John of Gaunt.
We spoke briefly to the many young students of the bravery and sacrifices made by so many young men and women in order that we can live in the freedom we all enjoy today.
We handed out to those students who wished to accept one, a copy of the Active Service Saint John's Gospel, which was offered to those going to the front line.
What was striking was the dignity and respectful silence that all the young students displayed, whether they held religious beliefs of any sort or not.
Sometimes I feel that some people worry too much about our young people who will one day be in positions of influence and power themselves.
