And in memory of Lieutenant Richard T. F. Seldon
4th Battalion, A.I.F.
Killed in action at Lone Pine, Gallipoli.
August 6th 1915
Erected by a number of his friends and associates in athletics.
Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends
Of the dead who have fallen in battle, the wide earth itself is the sepulchre, their tomb is not the grave in which they are laid, but the undying memory of the generations that come after them. Mazzini
