MACKIE - In loving memory of our dear son, Bombardier Robert Law Mackie, TMB, RFA, who was killed in action on 21st July, 1917.

His cheery, sunny countenance,
Will never from memory fade,
Nor yet will we forget
The noble sacrifice he made.

Sleep on, dear Robert, and take your rest,
They miss you most who loved you best.

Inserted by his father and mother, sisters and brothers.
7 Mungle Street, West Calder.

MACKIE - In loving memory of my dear brother, Bombardier Robert Law Mackie, TMB, RFA, who was killed in action on 21st July, 1917.

He marched away so bravely, his young head proudly held,
His footsteps never faltered, his courage never failed;
Then on the field of battle he proudly took his place,
And fought and died for Britain, and the honour of his race.

Inserted by his sister and brother-in-law (on active service).

MACKIE - In loving memory of my dear chum, Bombardier Robert Law Mackie, TMB, RFA, who was killed in action on 21st July, 1917.

This day brings back to memory dear,
My friend who fought and fell;
And those who think of him today,
Are those who loved him well.

Inserted by Pte Jas Martin (on active service).
