HEROES OF THE GREAT WAR.

JACOBS.— A token of love to the memory of my darling brother, Private A. M. Jacobs, 27th Battalion, killed in action, March 2nd, 1917.

You're always in my thoughts, dear brother,

'Tis sweet to breathe your name;

In life I loved you dearly,

 In death I do the same.

 I mourn for you, dear Arthur,

But not with outward show,

For those who mourn sincerely

Mourn silently and low.

He died, a hero, brave and true,

And wore the colors of brown and blue.

—Inserted by his sorrowing sister, Gladys.

JACOBS.— In sad but loving memory of Private Arthur Murray, killed in action March 2, 1917, 27th Battalion.

How hard it is to part with him

We held on earth so dear,

The heart no greater trial knows,

No sorrow more severe.

Days of sadness still come o'er us,

Hidden secret tears still flow;

But memory keeps our loved one near us,

Though he died a year ago.

A gallant hero, true and brave,

Peacefully sleeps in a soldier's grave.

—Inserted by his loving girl, Gladys Cornelius, Milton.

JACOBS. — In loving memory of dear Arthur Jacobs, who was killed in France, March 2, 1917.

JACOBS. —ln loving remembrance of our dear son and brother, Private Arthur Murray Jacobs, third son of Mrs. M. Jacobs, of North Adelaide, who was killed in France on March 2, 1917.

No one he loved was by his side.

To hear his last faint sigh;

Or whisper one sweet loving word,

Or even say good-bye.  

—Inserted by his sorrowing mother, sisters, and brothers.  

JACOBS. — In loving memory of our dear brother, Private Arthur Murray Jacobs, killed in action, France, March 2, 1917. "Duty nobly done." — Inserted by his loving brother and sister-in-law, Eldred and Marion.

 How we miss you everywhere.
