GOD ALONE KNOWS
HOW I MISS YOU DEAR ONE
AS IT DAWNS ANOTHER YEAR

PRIVATE DAVID WALTER HUGHES

DORSETSHIRE REGIMENT

24TH AUGUST 1918 AGE 26

BURIED: MILL ROAD CEMETRY, FRANCE


Private Hughes' wife sends a message of such heartfelt loneliness and long-term grief - she doesn't say 'as it dawns another day' but 'another year' - that it's rather a surprise to find that at the time of confirming the inscription she is now the wife of another man.
