LAMB - In loving memory of our dear son , Private Vivian Dawson Graham LAMB of the 42nd Battalion who died of pneumonia at Mausoff, France in the 2nd Australian Hospital on July 23rd aged 18 years.
No loved ones stood around him- to bid a fond farewell
No word of comfort could we give -to him we loved so well
Not gone from memory, not gone from love
But gone to our Fathers home above
Rest in the Saviour, sweetly rest,
They miss you most who loved you best.
Inserted by his loving Mother and Father
