TAYLOR.—In loving memory of my dear son, Stanley Howard Taylor, killed in action on the 7th August, 1915.
Thou art not forgotten, dear son.
Or will thou over be;
As long as life and memory last,
Mother will remember thee.
TAYLOR.—In loving memory of our dear brother, Trooper Stanley Howard Taylor, killed in action at Lone Pine August 7, 1915.
Far, far away from the land of his birth,
In the cause of freedom and justice he answered
his country's call.
In Lone Pine he gave his life, his all.
—(Inserted by his loving sister and brother-in-law, Ruby and Jack Walker, and little Stanley.)
TAYLOR.— In loving memory of our dear nephew and cousin, Trooper Stanley Taylor, No. 75, 8th Light Horse, killed in action at the Lone Pines, 7th August, 1915.
Sadly missed.
He was one of those gallant eight Light Horse
Who fell in that famous charge,
He fought and died for those he loved
Like a man he always was.
—(Inserted by his loving uncle, aunt, and cousins, J. R. and M, J. Craig and family, "Craigielea," Teal Point.)
TAYLOR.— In loving memory of our dear brother, Trooper Stanley Howard Taylor, 8th Light Horse, who was killed in action at "Lone Pine," August 7, 1915, aged 25 years.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Nor in sheet nor in shroud they wound him;
But he lay like a warrior taking his rest,
With his martial cloak around him.
—(Inserted by Fred and Alice Hicks.)
TAYLOR.— In loving memory of my dear brother, Stanley H. Taylor (No. 78, 8th Light Horse), killed in action at Lonesome Pine, August 7, 1915.
There is a link death cannot sever,
Sweet remembrance lasts forever.
—(Inserted by his loving sister, Daisy.)
