Parbutt - In Loving Memory of our dear Son and Brother, Thomas Parbutt, of Sutton, who was killed in the Battle of Arras on April 27th 1917. He served his king and country, God knows he did his best; But now he sleeps in Jesus, A soldier laid to rest. Could we have been beside him, To soothe his dying hours; The grief would not have been so great, For us in silent hours. - From his sorrowing Mother, Father, Brothers and Sisters.
