IN MEMORIAM - The Argus - 4th August 1921
ILES - In loving and cherished memory of our dearly beloved son and brother, Cyril T B Iles, late of the 23rd Battalion, Killed at Poziers on the 4th August 1916
Our memory often wonders as twilight shadows fall
Back to the days of happiness, days beyond recall;
And a vision comes before us, so pure and oh so sweet,
Of him whose lips are silent and whose heart has ceased to beat.
Inserted by his loving Mother, Father and Brothers, 36 Carrington Grove, East St Kilda
