HARGREAVES – In loving memory of my dear pal, Rifleman Jack Hargreaves, who died in Belgium November 16th, 1918.

I little thought when I said good-bye
That we had parted forever and you were to die;
The grief that I feel words cannot tell,
When I could not be near you to bid you farewell.

Ever remembered by Rifleman Herbert Longthorne, 1st Southern Hospital, Birmingham.

Love is a link death cannot never,
Remembrance and love live for over.

From his dear friend Jessie.

One year has passed since that sad day

No one can fill his vacant place.

Deep down in our hearts lies a picture
Of a dear son and brother called to rest.
In memory’s frame we shall keep it,
For he was one of the finest and best.
There was no word of farewell spoken,
So sudden on us the sorrow fell;
The happy circle of our home was broken
But still God doeth all things well.

“Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.”

Remembered by Mother, Father and Brothers, Fell View, Appletreewick.
