To the greater glory of God and in memory of Lieutenant Richard T.F. Seldon 4th Battalion, A.I.F.

Killed in sction 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 undrying memory of the generations that come after them. Mazzini.
