LANE. – In ever loving memory of our dear son and brother, Gunner John Lane of Piccadiily, who died through wounds received in action, October 25, 1918. “Our thoughts often wander, to that far and lonely grave, his name is often mentioned, in the home he died to save. Thy work is done, thou’st laid thine armour down, fought the good fight, and gained the eternal crown.” “R.I.P.”
