Margaret Florence May McGill, the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. McGill, St. Kelliers, Dookie road, Shepparton, to Cpl. Rexward John Harrison, only son of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Harrison, 101 Nixon street, Shepparton. - 24 March 1944
HARRISON.-In loving and ever-lasting memory of my only beloved son, Corporal Rexward John Harrison, VX1053G8, accidentally killed. Morotai, June 7. ("Kanga" to his cobbers.)
For years I wrote Mizpah on the head of each letter;
Now I write it beneath your name.
Though fortunes may wane and earth friends are few.
There are always wonderful memories of you.
(Inserted by his sorrowing mother, Florence M. Harrison, 101 Nixon street, Shepparton.)
