Lieut Allan Veale, RFC, on 22 January 1918, killed in France. [Sister — W Bell] [AWN 30.01.1919]
No more amid the strain and shock of war, no more his eyes shall rest on scenes of strife
Nor shall he listen to the battle's roar, with death and sorrow, pain and suffering rife.
His work is done, his path of duty o'er, beneath a foreign soil his body lies.
Until the day that Christ with wondrous power shall raise his own and take them to the skies.
Dear boy we know for you that all is well, yet in our hearts a sorry deep remains
But to our Saviour, God, our grief we tell and prove the grace that evermore sustains.
