IN MEMORIAM

STANLEY - In loving memory of a dear son and brother, Pte. William C. Stanley, who was killed in action, July 25th, 1944.

Although you now may lie alone, On some dark, foreign shore, And we shall never hear your laugh, Or see your face once more, We bow our head in humble peace, Your battle's o'er and won; Make us to bear this bitter cross, Worthy of our son, You suffered pain, you suffered want, Our Master suffered too, And now you've joint the heavenly throng, Your earthly toils are through, We know you met each final test, Each brutal loss and pain, with courage fine, but now you're home, Eternal rest to gain.

Sadly missed by Mother, Dad and Keith.
