  • Poem for Noel from mother Marion.

    He was a brave young soldier
    Fighting for you and me
    He gave his young life
    In the worlds great strife
    He was lost at Gallipoli

    Greater love hath no man

    In loving memory of my dear sons
    Noel P Gibson. Lost at hill 60 Gallipoli Augt. 28th 1915. Also George W Gibson killed in action in Egypt Augt. 9th 1916

    Forget, ah no, some may forget
    The love that once they gave
    But mothers love still follows her sons
    Far, far, beyond the grave
    Public - Joelene - Other relative - 9 June 2022
