Inscription

George Hector
Mathews
Aged 30 Years.
Killed In Action
At Messines Ridge, France
10th October 1917.
His King and Country called him.
The call was not in vain,
For on our roll of honour
You will find our hero's name.
He sleeps not in his native land
But under foreign skies;
Far from those who loved him,
In a hero's grave he lies.
