- 1914. - IN MEMORY OF THE HORSMONDEN FALLEN - 1918./ ( Names)/ Those whom this scroll/ commemorates were numbered/ among those who at the call/ of King and Country left/ all that was dear to them,/ endured hardness faced danger/ and finally passed out/ of the sight of men/ by the path of duty and/ self-sacrifice, giving up/ their own lives that others/ might live in freedom,/ let those who come after see to it/ that their names be not forgotten./ 1939-1945/ Lance Cpl.
