In ever loving
memory of my dear father, William Tait Glass,
NDC, who died on active service, 20th January
1940
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow
old,
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn,
But at the going down of the sun and in the
morning,
We will remember them.
His loving daughter, Doreen. |
