Sweet remembrance keeps you near. —lnserted by his loving ipother. AITCHISON.—In loving remembrance of my son, Ronald James Duncan (Jim), New Zealand Tank Corps, killed in action, Italy, December 15, 1943. Some may think I have forgotten, When at times they see me smile; But they little' know the heartache That smile hides all the while. Life is lonely without you, dear, And sad the weary way. For life and home are not the same, Since you were called away. Sweet is your memory, dear to my heart. The place that you held there will never . depart, And all through my years, be they many or few, Will be years of .remembrance, dear Jimmy, of you. Nothing but memories, as I journey on. Longing for a smile and a face that have gone. * It is not the tears at the moment shed. That tell of a heart that is torn, But the loneliness of after years. And the sorrow silently borne. —lnserted by his mother, Ardgowan. AITCHISON.—In loving memory of our brother and uncle, Trooper Ronald James Duncan (Jim), New Zealand .Tank Corps, killed in action, Italy, December 15, 1943.

We often sit and think of you, The things you used to say and do, ■ What would we give to clasp your hand, And see you smile again. —lnserted by Bob, Ann, and family, Ardgowan.
