Roll of Honour. Sivorn. In loving memory of my dear husband Pte. Sylvanus Sivorn, late of the Coldstream Guards and Military Foot Police, who died on October 24th 1919, the result of illness brought on by exposure.
Time may heal a broken heart
Time may make the wound less Sore
But time can never heal the longing
For the loved one gone before.
Ever remembered by his lovey wife.
Mrs Sivorn and relatives wish to thank all friends for their kind expressions of sympathy in their sad bereavement, and also for flowers. |
