NEW ZEALAND ROLL OF HONOUR
IN MEMORIAM. McKELVIE.—In loving memory of our dear son, Private Henry Walter (Jack) McKelrie, •who was killed in action August 9, 1942. He bade no one a last farewell, He said good-bye to none, The heavenly gate just opened wide And a gentle voice said come. Little we thought when we w&ke that morn What sorrow that day would bring; The call was sudden, the shock severe, We little thought the end was near; Only those who know can tell The sorrow of parting without farewell. Inserted by his sorrowing parents. McKELVIE.—In loving memory of our dear brother, Private Henry' Walter (Jack) McKelvie, who was killed in action August 9, 1942.
