S/13483 Private John 'Jack' Rawes, 1st Gordon Highlanders. Killed in action on 28th January 1918, aged 21. Son of Richard and Dinah Rawes, of Elterwater.
IN MEMORIAM
RAWES. - In sad but loving memory of our Jack, 1st Gordon Highlanders, who was killed in action in France on January 28th, 1918, aged 21 years.
Two years have passed, but still we miss him,
Loving him dearly, his memory we'll keep;
Never till life ends, will we forget him,
Dear to our hearts is the place where he sleeps.
'Tis not the tears at the moment shed
That tells how beloved is the soul that has fled;
But the unknown grave is a bitter blow,
None but the aching heart can know.
Ever remembered by father, mother, brother, and sisters.
Elterwater.
