Sweet is the memory left behind
Of George, so noble, true and kind
His fight he fought, he stood the rest
All his life he was one of the best.

and Amy, also loving uncle of Dorothy.
Our hero brother.
BOLTON. — Ofllcially reported killed on the 9th

A soldier, yes, a hero too,
He played a man's part through and through,
His actions speak, though his voice is still;
Forget you, George? We never will.
— Inserted by his loving sister, brother-in-law, Annie
and Frank; also loving uncle of Ivy and Ormond
