DAPTO. UNVEILING OF TABLET. At the evening service at St. Luke's Church on Sunday an impressive ceremony took place in the unveiling of a tablet to perpetuate the memory of the late Trooper T. F. Lindsay.The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Mr. Godson in the presence of a crowded congregation, which included relatives of the deceased, and a large number of returned soldiers, V.A.Ds., members of the Red Cross, and senior cadets. The tablet is of brass, and is a fitting tribute to the memory of a young life, nobly sacrificed in humanity's cause.
