DAWSON – In loving memory of Pte. Edward Carr Dawson, 4th Northumberland Fusiliers, reported missing and presumed killed on October 26th, 1917.
Sleep on, dear son, as days go by,
No flowers can we lay on the grave where you lie;
Though the broad wide ocean does keep us apart,
Your ever smiling face shall dwell in our hearts.
As we look at your picture that hangs on the wall,
The smile on your face we can’t but recall.
We miss you, God knows, and mourn you unseen,
And dwell on the memories of days that have been.
From all the Family, Cold Cotes, Clapham.

We loved him, oh! no tongue can tell
How much we loved him and how well;
God loved him too, and thought it best
To take him to His heavenly rest.
From Father, Mother and Family, Bleak Bank, Clapham.
