IN MEMORIAM
In fond remembrance of our dear brothers, Jack Sheath and Tom Boynton, who lost their lives on H.M.S. Queen Mary May 31st, 1916 - From Floss and Char.[1]
They have gone to their last commission,
To that beautiful ship called Rest,
And now they are gently sleeping,
Safe on their Saviour's breast.

[1] Floss is Florence Elizabeth Boynton, elder sister of Tom Boynton, and Char is her husband, Charles Henry Sheath. His brother was Robert John Sheath, known as John or Jack.
