Walter's Story
A loving son, a brother kind,
A beautiful memory left behind;
He proudly answered his country's call,
His life he gave for one and all.
He sleeps not in his native land,
But 'neath some foreign skies;
And far from those who loved him best,
In a hero's grave he lies.
The above poem was written for his memorial service, I have the original card and some newspaper clipping from the time
Capt. Walter Gamble , M.C. was my great Uncle who died of his wounds in France on June 12th 1917
