Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of Gilbert and Mary MCGLOIN, 14 Spence Street, Warrnambool, Victoria

McGLOIN.—Gunner Patrick Joseph McGloin, of Penshurst, Victoria, who died of wounds, some-where in France, 3/10/17.
R.I.P.
Greater love hath no man than this'
The stars may pale as dawn appears,
The moonbeams die,
And all the empty, lonely years
Go sadly by.
But I'll listen for your footsteps,
As they echo down the way,
And we'll meet once more, my darling,
At the ending of the day.
—(Inserted by his sorrowing fiancee, Dorothy Dunbar, Box Hill.)
