IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of Private E. Seaton, of Kitchener’s Army, who died of wounds, September 23rd, 1916 in hospital at Birmingham, aged 23 years.

“We shall not forget him, we love him too dearly,
For his memory to fade from us just like a dream.
Our lips need not speak when our hearts mourn sincerely,
For grief often dwells where it seldom is seen.”

From his loving Father and Mother (Wigston Magna); Sisters and Brothers (Stanton-under-Bardon and Coalville).
