IN MEMORIAM.
EMMS. - In ever loving memory of Albert Ernest, fifth beloved son of Walter and Elizabeth Emms, of North Lopham, who was first reported missing, and then officially reported killed on October 7th, 1916, aged 28 years. Duty done.
Grieve not dear parents, but be content,
For I to you was only lent;
For love I lived, for my country I died,
You asked my life, but twas denied.
We often think of days gone by,
When we were all together;
A shadow o'er our life is cast,
A loving brother gone forever.
Our hardest blow has yet to come,
When the others they return,
And we miss among the cheering crowds,
The faces of our loved ones.
From his loving Parents, Brothers and Sisters. |
