EVANS.—In loving memory of our dear son, Frank Norman Evans, aged 20 years, who died of wounds at Gallipoli Peninsula, November 17th, 1915.
You answered the call of your country,
But the voice of the cable tells
That a dauntless lad in khaki clad
Was killed at the Dardanelles.
We mourn your loss, but your actions
Sweet calm to your loved ones bring.
For he's ever a hero the man who dies
For his Country, God and King.
