FOR THE EMPIRE’S CAUSE.

IN ■CMOHIAM.

ARCHIBALD.—In loving memory of Rifleman David Archibald, who died on May 21, 1916. They buriod their dead where the guns had roared, Through the strife of that bloodshed day, Brave boys who had answered a nation s call In the young lands far away. And it seemed as the wonderful stars shone out. And their comrades turned the sod, In the reverent “hush” as a prayer was said, The voice of an angel called the dead: “Fall in, in the ranks of God.” —lnserted by his loving mother, sisters, and brothers. CARSON.—In loving memory of 8/178, Private T. R. Carson (Bob), who died at Cairo, from wounds received in action on Gallipoli, on May 19, 1915, second eon of Mr and Mrs A. M. Carson, Eddystone Street, Kaitangata. There’s a little white cross, but it's not all alone. There are thousands its vigil to share; No monument high and no rich carven 6tone Mark the -grave of our dear boy over there. —lnserted by his loving parents, brothers, and sisters. HAY.—In loving memory of Trooper Robert Hay, killed in action on May 27, 1917. Dearly beloved youngest son of William and Letitia Hay, Owaka. Nothing but memory as we journey on, Longing for a smile and a face that is gone; No one knows the depth of our regret, We remember when others forget. At evening, when the shadows fall, Is the saddest and loneliest time of all. —lnserted by his loving father, mother, sisters, brothers, and sisters-in-law, Owaka.
