FALLEN IN THE FIGHT

HARGREAVES – In loving remembrance of Albert B. Hargreaves, who died November 13th, 1918, at the Catterick Military Hospital; and was interred at the Grindleton Parish Church on the 19th, aged 27 years.

Snapped like a tender flower from off its stem,
My bright young life, to form a diadem;
A jewel bright within that starry dome
Be thine to wear in that eternal home.

(Mrs. W. Livesey.) Wallace House, Grindleton.
