In memory of my dear husband, Malachy, (6th Buffs), killed, 7th September 1918.

"I think of him in silence,
But not with outward show,
For the heart that mourns sincerely,
Mourns silently and low."

From his loving wife and little daughter,
Gladys, 20 Edward Street, Baxenden,

"Too good and true to be forgotten."

His sister in law, Lizzie.
