Add my storyBiography contributed by Faithe Jones
Son of Jabez and Charlotte SMITH of Wedderburn, Vic.
SMITH.—In loving memory of our dear brother, Pte J. A. T. Smith (Jack), who was killed in France, November 2nd, 1917.
In our hearts his memory lingers,
Tender, fond and true;
There's not a day goes past, dear Jack,
But what we think of you.
Like ivy on a withered oak,
When all things else decay,
Our love for you will still keep green,
And never fade away.

sisters.
