FOR THE EMPIRE'S CAUSE.

LADBROOK vate Edward Wells Ladbrook (90752), who died at Featherston on December 4, 1918, dearly beloved husband of Rebecca Jane Ladbrook. It seems but a day since he bade us good-bye, His heart full of hope and his spirit so high; How little we thought when he left us that day The grim hand of death would soon take him away. No one he loved was by his side To hear his last faint sighs, Or whisper just one loving word Before he closed his eyes. Oh, could I have raised his dying head, Or heard his last farewell The blow would not have been so hard To those who loved him well. —lnserted by his loving wife and daughter, Wyndham road, Mataura.
