Memorial of a Brave Life
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Field, of Car-
rington Avenue. Dubbo, are in receipt
of a handsome scroll surmounted by the
Imperial Coat of Arms and bearing
these words:— "He whom this scroll
commemorates was numbered among
those who, a the call of King and
country, left all that was dear to them,
endured hardships, faced danger, and
finally passed out of the sight of men
by the path of duty and sacrifice,
giving up their own lives that others
might live in freedom.
"Let those who come after see to it
that his name be not forgotten.
"CORPL. AUBREY LESLIE FIELD,
10th F.A.B., A.I.F."
Accompanying the scroll is an auto-
autograph letter from the King, which
reads: —
"Buckingham Palace
"I join with my grateful people in
sending you this memorial of a brave
life given for others in the Great War.
GEORGE R.I."
It is little memorials such its those
that appeal to the hearts of parents and
others, whose dear ones made the
Supreme Sacrifice in the cause of justice
and freedom against might and
tyranny, and gives them consolation in
the knowledge that their King is not
unmindful or forgetful of the loyalty
of those who did and died for King and
Empire. Mr. and Mrs. Field are
naturally very proud of this memorial,
and it is safe to say it will occupy an
honored place in their household.
