HYMAS – In loving memory of my dear husband. Private C. E. Hymas (late porter of Rylstone Station), who died in France December 13th, 1917.
We cannot forget you, we loved you too dearly
For your memory to fade from our lives like a dream;
Life need not speak where the heart mourns sincerely,
And thoughts often dwell where they seldom are seen.
From his loving Wife and little Daughter.

Lonely is our home today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has for ever passed away.
