Radford - In Loving Memory of Private John George Radford, the
beloved Son of Sarah and Joseph Radford, who died of wounds Somewhere in France,
April 27th 1917, aged 20 years. Oh, why was he taken so young and so fair, From
mother, father, brothers and sisters that loved him so dear; Hard was the blow
that compelled us to part, From one so loving and dear to our hearts. - From his
loving Mother, Father, Brothers and Sisters.
