In loving memory of Joseph Beresford, of 61 Huthwaite Road, Sutton, who was killed in action, in Belgium, April 20th 1915, aged 23 years.
He bravely answered duty's call,
He gave his life for one and all;
But the unknown grave is the bitterest blow,
None but an aching heart can know.
From Wife, Mother and Father, Sisters and Brother.
