Narrative

MORSE. — In loving memory or our beloved son and brother, Vernon Eustace Morse, killed in action in France, 4th October, 1917, aged 24 years.
 Under the flag of the five-starred cross,
 The pride of the southern seas,
 He laid down his life in a deadly strife.
 To keep Australia free.
 Somowhere in France they have laid him,
 Our hero so brave and true,
 Only a lad in khaki.
 Fighting for me and you.
 Inserted by his loving mother, father, sisters, and brother.
