FOR THE EMPIRE'S CAUSE.

IN MEMORI AM. HAY.—In loving memory of Robert (6th Reinforcements), who was killed in action in France on May 27, 1917; aged 24 years. He marched away so bravely, His head he proudly held, llis footsteps never faltered, His courage never failed. Then on *he field of battle He calmly took his place. And fought and died for Britain, And the honour of his race. The evening 6tars are beaming Upon a eilent grave; There, sleeping without dreaming, Lies one we could not save. In dreams we see his loving face, And kiss his tender brow; Ami just as we loved him then, We love his memory now. —lnserted by his loving father and mother, sisters, and brothers, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law, Owaka.
