In/ Gratitude to/ Sgt. H. W. Eglen/ of East Dereham/ As a proof of his devotion to duty/ and humanity, paid the highest price/ at Vendicies Au Bois, Oct. 23rd 1918./ Aged 25 Years./ Wounded with one of his men (R W Lupton/ by name) he remained with him and was/ bandaging him, when a shell exploded/ near by and our dear comrades were no/ more.“Greater love hath no man than this” “In as much as ye have done it” In/ Loving Memory of/ Richard Wish Lupton/ 52218 1st East Yorks/ of 25 Castle Street, Grantham./ Fell at Vendicies Au Bois, Oct 23rd 1918/ Reburied at Romeries/ Born May 31st 1899. “Now concerning my dear father & mother./ Their happiness and comfort for the/ remainder of their lives is the only/ thing that really distresses me. Through/ the Grace of God I myself am happy,/ experiencing the calm of sin forgiven but/ if God sees fit to take me to Himself,/ which is far better. The grief and trouble/ which would overwhelm dear Mother and/ Father I cannot imagine. Words cannot express/ it I think. If anything then happens to me/ kindly write to them, and tell them of the/ deep love I have for them, and also for/ my Saviour. This is my last word if anything does/ happen but so far God has kept me. And/ I trust Him for the rest.”

Sgt H W Eglen. Pte R W Lupton
