TOLSON.--In proud and loving memory of our dear husband and father, Lance- Corporal G. H. Tolson, 6th Mechanical Transport Company, who died in France, November 17th 1919 (One of the brave) Always happy and cheerful / With a heart that knew no fear, / He went to face life's battle / For all he loved so dear. You are ever in our thoughts, dear one, / It is sweet to speak thy name; / In life we loved thee dearly, / In death we do the same. One by one the links are broken, / One by one they're linked above; / Some day there'll be a sweet reunion / In the land of light and love. Inserted by his loving wife and child, R. M. and R. P. Tolson
