Biography contributed by Faithe Jones

Son of Mrs. C NIELSON, Throneligh Paddocks, Albion, Brisbane Qld.

NIELSON.— In sad and loving memory of my dear son and our brother, Jacob Peter Nielson, who was accidentally killed at Clermont on the 19th April, 1918.
Two years have passed, our hearts still sore,
As time goes on we miss him more;
His loving smile, his welcome face,
There is no one can fill dear Jacob's place.
Inserted by his affectionate mother, Nurse Nielson, Frank and Lena Pollard, Arthur and Myra Woolam, and Ricka Nielson.
