However he stayed on as Chaplain to the Forces in the battle area.

(Wikipedia reports that "Stanford is now a deserted village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The village became deserted when it was taken over by the British Army during the Second World War as part of the Stanford Battle Area, an infantry training area that is still in use today. The village and most of the parish are within a prohibited area and access is not allowed without special permission from the Army. Recently (June 2012) there was a service to mark the 70th anniversary of the closing of the church and evacuation in 1942 of the parish of Stanford. St Mary's Church is believed to stand on the site of an earlier church. The nave dates from the C14 and the tower from the C15 Pugin rebuilt the original medieval church.." )
