HIS MEMORY SHALL LIVE FOR EVER IN THE LAND HE LOVED AUSTRALIA

KEEAMI.—In loving memory of Gunner E. N. Keeami, 103rd Howitzer Battery, died of wounds, Donnebeke, November 15, 1917.
Gone West with the glory of the setting sun
To the joy of a well-earned rest.
Another hero's duty done,
Another soul gone west.
Inserted by his wife, Elizabeth, and children, Paul, Ruth, Phil.
