"WE MISS HIM MOST WHO LOVED HIM BEST"

WILLIAMS.- In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Pte. Frederick Phillip Williams (Ted), C Company, 2nd Pioneer Batt., killed in action at Ypres, 29th October, 1917.
He has sailed on his last commission,
On a beautiful ship called Rest;
And his head is safely pillowed
On our Great Commander's breast.
