WALSH - In loving memory of my dear husband Harry Raymond Walsh, killed at Fleurbaix, 19th July, 1916, late 59th Battalion, 15th Brigade.

We'll know shy clouds instead of sun

Were over many a cherished plan,

Why song has ceased when scarce begun,

Some day up there we'll understand.

(Inserted by his loving wife and little son, Ray)
