ROLL OF HONOUR
JACOBS—In loving memory of Flight Lieutenant Walter Gordon, N.Z. R.A.F., missing from Ohakea when he took his * last Dawn Patrol Meteorological Flight, 28th February. 1946. Also his Crew, Flight Lieutenant Lahgton, W’ararnt Officer Newall, and ACI Hayhurst, Meteorologist. I did not know as I kissed you farewell It was my last good-bye— That in some lonely, unknown, unknelled grave You were, my dear son, so soon to lie. But I cannot ever forget you As the third sad year passes by, Nor the many, many brave lads whom you taught to fly. When I see' the silver wings soaring high in the sky J dry my tears and think perhaps you, my darling son, May have inspired him to fly. (Inserted by his mother, father, brothers, and sisters, 15 Mandeno St., Te Awamutu. . 1005.)
