MORRIS.— In loving memory of Trooper Edwin H. Morris, lost from hospital ship Aquitania, 16th August, 1915, while being invalided from Gallipoli, aged 20 years 9 months.
To-day, as we gaze on your photo;,
A likeness so faithful and true,
Do you know how our hearts are aching,
And longing, dear Eddie, for you.
Inserted by his loving parents, sister Melba, and brothers Alfie and Bill (on active service), also his loving friend, Bertha Warren (Queanbeyan).
