BARNETT.—In sad and loving memory of our dear son and brother, Private William (Joey) Harnett, who was killed in action "somewhere in France" on October 6, 1917, late of the 12th Battalion.
There's a little white cross, but it is not alone,
There are thousands its vigil to share:
No monument high, and no rich carven stone,
Marks the grave of our boy over there
But ...o bright, cheerful sun through the dancing leaves peeps,
And lovingly touches the sward,
Caressing the spot where our soldier boy sleeps,
With the little white cross keeping guard. Inserted by his loving mother, father, and sisters, W. and M. Barnett
