DAWSON.-A tribute of love to the memory of my devoted husband and our dad, James Birrell Dawson, late 54th Batt., who passed away April 29, 1935.
Just resting where no shadows fall,
Is the husband I loved awaiting us all.
A wonderful pal and father we've lost,
Only God alone knows what that parting has cost
When alone in my sorrow, the sad tears flow,
As I live again through the dear long ago,
Unknown to the world, you stand by my side,
And whisper, dear Al, death does not divide.
God's great gift, a perfect mate, My Jim.
Loved and longed for always by his loving wife,
Alice, and children, Alice and Birrell.
