REST IN PEACE
GUNTER.— In ever loving memory of Signaller Sidney E Guntev, died of illness in Palestine, October 15, 1918.
When we see the boys returning,
Our hearts do throb with pain,
To think you are not there, dear,
And will never come home again.
We seem to see his smiling face,
Through a mist of anxious tears,
For the parting with our brother,
Was the saddest day of all.
Inserted by his loving sister and brother-in-law, Ada and George Urquhart.
GUNTER.— In loving memory of Signaller Sidney E. Gunter, died of illness in Palestine, October 13, 1918.
Today as we look at your photo,
A soldier so brave and true,
Do you know that our hearts are aching
And longing, dear uncle, for you?
A soldier and a man.
Inserted by his loving nieces, May and Pretoria Urquhart.
