In loving and honoured memory of our dear cousin THOMAS KIRBY also our dearest friend JACK McMULLEN who both laid down their lives at Duty's call on board the SS Titanic, April 15, 1912.
Greatly missed but never forgotten by all of us at Sholing.
Afar they lie in their ocean bed
The Angels guard the spot
And when the sea gives up its dead
They will not be forgot
Together in the great beyond".

[Also Hampshire Express, 19th April, 1913]
