    "Beloved second son of A W and the late Ellen Haynes" "In a distant land he lies, At rest in a soldier's grave; His battle fought, his name enrolled

    On the scroll of the deathless brave. A lonely grave in a far-off land,

    A grave we may never see, But while life and memory last We will remember thee"

    Next of Kin: Mr A. W. Haynes, Ponsonby Terr, Auckland (Roll of Honour, Auckland Province 1914-1918 (Volume 1)) AWMM
