BROADWEY
Stone slabs on ground near entrance to new cemetery in Springfield Road.
Right hand slab.
In Memoriam.
Not for the love of strife
nor for the meed of fame,
all in the pride of life
rushed they to arms and death;
but in their country's name
yielding their life and breath,
at simple duty's call
gave they their best, their all.
Not in dim silence borne
nor draped in pall and shroud,
from home and kindred torn
sought they their last long rest,
but mid wars thunders out
for battle proudly dressed,
as but befits the brave
found they a deathless grave.
