WARREN.- In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Sgt. George Goulburne Warren, 23rd Batt., killed in action at Passchendaele on 9th October, 1917.
Our brave Anzac.
The hardest part is yet to come,
When the other boys return;
For we'll miss among the happy throng
Dear George, who will never return.
