HEROES OF THE EMPIRE

DIX. —In loving memory of our dear son, Pte. L. W. A. Dix. SX13774, 2/27 th. killed in action, N.G., 1942. If all the world was ours to give, we would gladly and more just to see your smiling face come through our door saying Hello, mum and dad. To have and to love, then to part, it's the saddest story of a mother's heart. Though his smile has gone forever and his voice we cannot hear, we shall never lose the memory of the one we love so dear. —Inserted by his loving mother, father, sisters and brothers.

DIX. —In loving memory of Llew, died, New Guinea, September 8, 1942. —Always remembered by Mr. and Mrs. Wagener and family.
