Towndrow - In loving memory of my dear Brother Private Arthur Towndrow, who died in Etaples Hospital, France, June 18th 1917. Sleep on, dear Brother, in a far off grave, A grave we may never see; But as long as life and memory last, We will remember thee. When last we saw his smiling face, he looked so strong and brave; We little thought how soon he'd be Laid in a hero's grave. - From his Brother Charlie and Sister-in-law Nellie.
