SIMPSON.—Somewhere in France. In proud and loving memory of our dear son, Corporal Bertie Simpson, died of gunshot wounds, 12th June, 1918.
Not one he loved was by his side
To clasp those hands so dear
Or whisper just a last farewell,
Or wipe that brow so clear.
Sleep on, dear son, in a soldier's grave,
Your life for us you nobly gave.
Inserted by his sorrowing mother and father.

We only know he left us
And could not say goodbye.

We missed him the day he left us,
With his smile and his loving way ;

As we miss him more to-day ;
Now the battle day is past,
Peacefully he sleeps at last.

Too far away his grave to see,
Not too far to think of thee.

Never to see him again would I.

'Midst the battle's awful din,
With firm resolve to die or win,
A credit to his uniform.
Our hero fell, and so we mourn.
He sleeps not in his native land,
But 'neath the foreign skies,
Far from those who loved him best,
In a hero's grave he lies.
