In ever loving memory of our dear son George (Pte GW Fields). Killed in action at Gallipoli October 26th 1915.

We think of him in silence no eye can see us weep.
But ever to our aching hearts his name we keep.
Not now but in a better land some day we’ll understand
We never thought his time so short in this world to remain.
When from our home he went away he thought to come again.

Ever remembered by Mother, Father, Brother and Sisters
