son, Corp. John Duesbery, Sherwood Fores-

months he crossed to France, and within a
week of his landing there was participating

ment of the war, anf has seen much active
service with the troops abroad.
DUESBERRY - In loving memory of Cpl. J. Dues
"Far away from his home and loved ones,
Laid to rest in a far-off land;
Neve more shall i clasp his dear hard;
Tis only those who have lost can tell
The pain of parting without a farewell "
From his loving Mother and Sisters and Brothers (somewhere to France)
