Miscellaneous information from cemetery records | Commemorated in Fingal Cemetery, Tasmania. Verse on headstone reads: 'You sleep on the blood stained fields of France/ My gallant son so brave;/ No loving hands may place a wreath/ upon your unknown grave;/ Though I am far away, dear Will/ And your grave I cannot see,/ I am always thinking of you/ As you used to think of me. Inserted by his sorrowing Mother Sarah Ann Baldwin.' Parents: Henry James (b. USA, 2 October 1830; d. 8 January 1908; bu. Fingal Cemetery) and Sarah Ann BALDWIN, Fingal, Tasmania |
