LAMB.—In loving memory of Charles Hargrave Lamb (Charl), killed in action at Passchendaele, 4th October, 1917.
In memory of one of those
Through whom our own fair sunny land,
Reached nationhood and took its place
'Mongst countries that for right did stand.
In memory of one of those
Who paid the price that we might live,
As members of a sovereign race,
Heirs to what our land might give.
