   Where glory crowns his well earned rest,
      He lies among the slain,
   And none pass by but call him blessed,
      Whose work was not in vain.

      To a brighter, better land.
   Whom Heaven's light doth shine upon, --
      A glorious light and grand.

   It was hard to lose you, brother, dear,

   The news was sad, the blow was hard,
      God's will it must, be done --
   With a manly heart, he did his part,
      Our own beloved son.

NOBLE -- In loving memory of our dearest friend, Rifleman James Noble, Royal Irish Rifles, who was killed in action on 28th June, 1916.
   Although you're in a far-off land.

   As long as life and memory lasts,

Inserted by his loving Friends. GEORGE & LIZZIE BOWEN. Queen Street Cottage, Larne.
