IN MEMORIAM.
\y D.—in loving memory of Private C. R. >Vard, who was killed in action at tile Battle of Messines, on October 4, 1917, leaving New Zealand with the 21st Reinforcements. It's just ii year ago to-day since over the sea the sad message came. Killed in action the cable said, that is all the talc they tell, for lie gave up his weak young manhood that a stronger one might live, for we know he did his duty bravely, and under the Allies' Bags he fell. —lnserted by his mother, father, sisters and brothers. Sleep on, dear brother, and take your rest; Our God called you when he thought best; Your heart was good; your spirit, brave; And your resting-place, a soldier's rrave. —lnserted by his returned brother (Private E. A. Ward), who lost his left hand in the same battle.
