ROLL OF HONOUR

IN MEMORIAM

To those whom this List commemorates are numbered amongst all 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 may live in freedom.

Let those who come after see to it that their names are not forgotten.

George V.
