IN MEMORIAM.
WRIGHT. —In loving memory of Corporal George Henrv Wright, 41020, killed in action in France, August 15th, 1918.
Mourn not for him, nor Jay your heart, within that lonely grave; Think you those narrow bounds could hold that spirit pure and brave? Earth’s uniform discarded now beneath (hat sod is laid, He had his marching orders, as a. soldier he obeyed. A soldier does not ask nor choose the place or way to serve, And from the path that duty points no soldier’s steps may swerve; So when from lhatmauJ field of strife death’s bugle called him far, He turned his face towards the steeii where Heaven’s outposts are. —lnserted by his Iving parents, sister and brothers.
