Transcript
  • [top] à la mémoire de nos bien aimés [photograph of cross commemorating the battle at Miraumont, France] [caption below] ---this spot, sacred to us, where our dear ones left this life so bravely because it was the only noble way. They had to leave us without a message of good-bye, but we know that the unsaid thing was a message to "carry on" and be of good cheer.--- And so we lose the best of our best and now we may only know them from the past, but in the depth of our pain we shall cherish their memory with such pride fro we know, as all who knew them, that they lived and died like sportsmen bringing honour on their name which is also ours.--- Georges.
