DAVIES-In loving memory of Corpl. W. H. Davies, who died of wounds, August 19th 1916.
When last we saw his smiling face,
He seemed so strong and brave;
We little thought how soon he'd be laid in a hero's grave.
His sorrowing Mother, Father and Sisters-21, Sydney Place.

There is a link death cannot sever,
For love is a chain that binds forever.
