In Memoriam
Walton- In loving memory of my dear husband Ken, killed in action, North Africa, February 11th 1943
------------------
Walton- In Loving memory of a beloved son and brother, Ken, who was killed in action in North Africa, February 11th 1943.
No earthly treasures would ever replace
His loving smile, his happy face
We lived in hope, but prayed in vain
That we should see him home again
But lost is all and life goes on
In spite of grief and pain
But deep within our hearts we know
That we shall meet again

Ever loving mam, dad, brothers, sister

Walton- in Proud and evergreen memory of a dear brother, Kenneth Walton, killed in action, February 11th 1943, Tunisia, North Africa.
Theres always a lonely heartache and often a silent tear
but always a beautiful memory of one we loved so dear
We pictured him on returning
We longed to clasp his hand
But God has postponed our meeting
till we meet in a better land

Loved and remembered always
From Sister, Brother, Nieces, Mab., John, Joyce, Martin, Hazel.
