GRANDFIELD. — In loving memory of our dear son and brother, L/Cpl. George Allan, who was killed in action, in France, September 25th, 1917. Somewhere in France, no matter where, He was just as near to Heaven, As if he had lain in his bed at home, When the signal to cease was given. He has borne his cross, he has gained his crown, Though he sleeps in a far-off grave, And we think of him, as a duty done, Manly, unselfish, and brave. — Inserted by his parents, sisters, and brothers, Lilydale.
