IN MEMORY

IN MEMORIAM NOTICES FROM THE NEWSPAPERS

ROUND - In loving memory of my dear son and brother, 4203, Lance Corporal B. H. Round, late of the 27th Battalion, killed in action at Villers Bretonneux. France, July 6, 1918.

Over in France our sad thoughts roam,

To a lonely grave so far from home;

We who love you sadly miss you,

As it dawns another year.

This is a day of remembrance to all,

This is a day too sad to recall;

Gone and forgotten by some you may be,

But if others forget you never shall we.

Inserted by his loving father, brothers, and sister. Lizzie, Bert, Charlie, Ted, returned brothers, Ben, Enoch, and Harold.

ROUND - In loving memory of our dear husband and father, Lance Corporal H. B. (sic) Round killed in action in France, July 6, 1918 Just ' one sad year has now gone past,

Since that great sorrow fell;

Yet in our hearts we mourn the loss

Of him we loved so well.

Dear Harry, peace has come at last.

Though your precious life you gave. You are sleeping now with comrades brave

In a far-off foreign grave.

-Inserted by his loving wife and children.
