In Memoriam

SHARP. — In loving memory of our dear son

and brother, Corporal W. E. Sharp, 11th Battalion,

A.I.F., late of Yuna, W.A., Killed in action at Lone

Pine, August 6th, 1915.

His life is closed, his record made,

His duty done, his last word said;

His memory alone remains.

Of all its joys, its grief, its gains,

And now he rests by the changing seas,

By stormy shores swept by gale and breeze,  

While stars keep watch o'er the sleep of these at Anzac.

— Inserted by his loving father and mother,

W. W. Sharp and E. Sharp, sisters and brother,

Horace, on active service.

SHARP. — In loving memory of my dear friend,

Corporal W. E. Sharp, 11th Battalion, A.I.F., late of

Yuna, W.A., killed in action at Lone Pine, August 6th,  

1915.

— Inserted by his loving friend, Ivy Marshall.
