Notts Free Press - In Memoriam - 27th September 1918
Tagg - In ever loving memory of our dearly beloved son, William Ernald Tagg, who was killed somewhere in France, September 26th 1916. A day of remembrance sad to recall. Oh for the touch of his dear vanished hand, Of the sound of his voice that is still; A place is vacant on our hearth, That we can never fill. From his sorrowing Mother, Father, Sister and Brothers.
