STOKES.— In sad but loving memory of our dearly beloved son and brother, Private Clarence John Stokes, who died of wounds in France on September 30th, 1917, aged 24 years.

Only those can tell
Who have lost the best and dearest
Without a last farewell.

STOKES.--Died of wounds in France on September 20, 1917, Clarence John Stokes, aged 31 years.
Somewhere in France our brother is lying,
Somewhere in France he fell;
Little we thought when we said good-bye
It would be our last, farewell.
