IN MEMORIAM.
WRIGHT. —To loving memory of Corporal George Hears Wright, -11920, killed in action in France, August 15th, 19.18.
Mourn not for him. nor lay your heart within that lonely grave; Think you those narrow hounds could hold that spirit pure and brave? Earth’s uniform dis'carded'now beneath that sod is laid, He had bis marching orders, a-, 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 soldiers’ steps may swerve; So when from thaPred field of strife death’s bugle called him far, He turned Ids face towards the steep where Heaven’s outposts
are. —inserted by his loving parents sister and brothers.
WRIGHT. —In loving memory of our dear father, Corporal G. IT. Wright, killed in action in France, August 15th, 1018. Dearest one, how we miss you None but ourselves can toll. One thought with us will always linger, That you did your duty well. The call for thee was sudden, And pierced our hearts with pain, But our present loss and sorrow Is thy eternal gain. —lnserted by his loving sons.
