In Memoriam

JUNIER. -Whose death has been officially con-
firmed, previously reported wounded and missing,
Pte. Edward Wilfred (463, "Dolph"), youngest    
beloved son of Mrs. Junier, 73 Hall street,
Moonee Ponds, and the late C. A. Junier, formerly
of Morwell, Gippsland, who fell at Gallipoli on the
25th April, 1915, loved brother of Ernest, Elsie  
(Mrs. Fordred), Albert, Gus, and Ethel, aged 23 
years.
Buried in a nameless grave
Laid aside with other brave,   
His life for King and country gave -
My youngest son.
He answered to the Empire's call;   
We ill could spare him, one and all, 
And prayed God would not let him fall -
My dearly loved son. 
But all should fight, and some must die,  
He took his chance - my youngest son;
And I can only grieve and say -
Thy will be done.
I kept the home fire burning, but the lad I've  
waited and yearned for will speak to me never  
again.

JUNIER.-In loving memory of Private Edward
Wilfred ("Dolph"), who fell at Gallipoli the 25th
April, 1915, dearly beloved youngest son of
Mrs. Junier, 73 Hall street, Moonee Ponds,
and the late C. A. Junier, loved brother of Ernest,
Elsie (Mrs. Fordred), Albert, Gus, and Ethel.
To Thee, to Thee, O Father, I surrender
This earthly gift when'er I hear Thy call,
But let my death be swift, the pang be tender,
Yet like a soldier fall.
No cross, no crown.

JUNIER.— In loving memory of Pte. Edward Wil-
fred (Dolph), who fell at the landing at Gallipoli,
25th April, 1915, youngest beloved son of Mrs. Junier,
73 Hall street, Moonee Ponds.
You bravely marched to death that cruel 
morning 
With well feigned courage, though with eyes
tear-filled:
And in my bursting breast I felt the warnings
Of those dread missives with their burden— "killed." 
Farewell, farewell, dear son of mine, for ever;
No, not for ever—death shall not prevail;
We'll meet again, pray God, ne'er more to sever,
When I have conquered death and passed the
veil.
--(E. J.).

1916, youngest beloved son of Mrs. Junier, 73 Hall
street, Moonee Ponds, and the late C. A. Junier,

"Think of him faring on, as dear
In the love of there as the love of here,
And loyal as when he gave the blows
Of his warrior's strength to his country's foes;
Think of him still, the same, I say,
He is not dead, he is just away."

JUNIER.— In sad and loving memory of Edward   
Wilfred (Dolph), who fell at Gallipoli, 25th   April, 1915,
youngest beloved son of Mr. Junier,     
Hall street, Moonee Ponds.
Lest we forget, had not our brave, each fearless 
and erect, 
Held to his vow, tho' life itself the price;
Gave of his best, his youth, his strength, his
blood,
Yielded his all in utmost sacrifice.
