Social History
1920 The Argus
BURROWS.—In loving memory of our dearly loved son, Pte. Keith Burrows, 59th Batt., who was killed in action, 29th September, 1918; also his loved cousin, Trooper A. Burrows, killed in Palestine, 1st May, 1918, and his dear companions, Pte. Cyril Spotswood, killed in France, 25th June, 1918, and Pte. Horace Thompson, died of wounds, 4th October, 1918.
For faith, for liberty, for truth,
They offered up their stalwart youth.
They died—if it were death to give
Their lives—that those they loved might live.
—(W. and M. Burrows, “Glen Alan,” 101 Dryburgh street, North Melbourne.)
BURROWS.—In loving memory of our dear nephew and cousin, James Keith Burrows, who was killed in action on September 29, 1918. (Inserted by Dr. and Mrs. J. K. Troup and family.)
