WALLACE.—On May 23rd, 1918,
killed in action in France,
56690 Private Gordon Wallace,
beloved fourth son of Thomas and Margaret Wallace, of Victoria Valley; age 26 years.
“ His duty nobly done.”
He sleeps beside his comrades,
In a shallow grave unknown ;
But his name is written in letters of love,
In the hearts that are left at home.
