HAGAN.— In memory of Albert Myles Hagan, killed in action 26th September, 1917;
Killed in action say the cables,
That is all the tale they tell
Of the soldier brave who loved us;
Of the one we loved so well.
How his life was spent we know not;
What the last word, look or thought.
Only that he did his duty,
Died as bravely as he fought.
Inserted by his loving wife and son.
