HEWITT – In loving memory of our dear Son, Lance- Corporal Hewitt, who died of wounds in France, August 16th 1917.

Somewhere in France, in a grave far away,
A sad mother’s thoughts wander day by day;
Unseen by world my son stands by my side,
And whispers, “Dear mother, death does not divide.”

From his sorrowing Father, Mother, and Brothers at home.
