ATKINSON - In affectionate remembrance of Private Herbert Atkinson, No 1. 13th Y and L; D Co; the beloved husband of Priscilla Atkinson, killed in action, in France, June 17 1916 aged 26 years.
A loving husband, a faithful friend,
Once of the best that God could send:
When days are dark, and friends are few
My loving husband, I'll think of you.
Christ will clasp the broken chain,
Closer, when we meet again.
From his wife and children.
