Brass plaque with wooden frame on inside left hand wall of the church

During Evensong at St Thomas's Church of England, North Sydney, last night, the rector (Rev. Horace Crotty, M.A.) unveiled a memorial tablet to the memory of the late Lieutenant Richard Seldon, who died while leading his men in the attack on Lone Pine. The tablet was erected to the deceased officer's memory by his many friends in the athletic world.
Sydney Morning Herald (NSW), 17 April 1916.

To the greater glory of God
and
in memory of
Lieutenant Richard T.F. Seldon
4th Battalion, A.I.F.

Killed in action at Lone Pine, Gallipoli
August 6th 1915.
Erected by a number of his friends and associates in athletics.

Greater love hath no man than this
that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Of the dead who have fallen in battle, the wide earth itself is the
sepulchre, their tomb is not the grave in which they are laid, but
the undying memory of the generations that come after them.
Mazzini.
