    Buckingham Palace

    I join with my grateful people in sending you this memorial of a brave life given for others in the Great War.

    George R I

    Message from the War Office.

    On His Majesty's Service.

    National Economy.

    He whom this scroll commemorates was numbered among those who, at the call of King and Country, left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self-sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom.

    Let those who come after see to it that his name be not forgotten.

    Pte:(name withheld)

    Northumberland Fusiliers

    He died very young. Can we just pay a bit of respect to him and his Comrades on both sides.
