Tait - In loving memory of our dear son and brother, Trooper Gifford Tait, who was killed in action on the 25th November 1917
When last we saw his smiling face,
He looked so strong and brave;
We little thought how soon he would
Be laid in a soldier's grave
'Tis sweet to be remembered,
And a pleasant thing to find
Although you may be absent,
You're ever in our minds.
Inserted by his sorrowing parents, sisters, and brothers

Tait - In loving memory of our dear brother, Gifford (Giff), killed in action in Palestine on the 25th November 1917.
Oh, how hard it is that until lost
None can count the bitter cost
That must be paid by all of us
Now left behind to mourn his loss
Than this no other requiem crave,
He fought for England's fame;
Now over a gallant soldier's grave
They have carved his sacred name
Inserted by Bill and Minnie

Tait - In loving memory of our dear brother, Trooper Gifford Tait, 7th Reinforcements, who was killed in action on the 25th November 1917, in Palestine
Sleep on, dear Giff, in a soldier's grave,
Your life for your country you nobly gave;
But safe in God's keeping now you lie.
May the heavenly winds blow softly
O'er that sweet and sacred spot;
'Mid all the changing scenes on earth, dear brother
You shall never be forgot.
Inserted by his loving brother and sister in law, A. and E. Tait
