DESCRIPTION OF IMAGE: Portrait, Auckland Weekly News 1918 [http://muse.aucklandmuseum.com/databases/Cenotaph/797.detail] 3 - RIFLEMAN KENNETH MILLER BARTHOLOMEW. (Killed in action, March 29, 1918.) He is not dead, but only sleeping On that far shore, where war's wild clangours cease— Our friend, our brother of the gentle presence Will wake again, where all is heavenly peace. We walk with softer step the clouded pathway, Which erst was cheered by his bright word and smile. Yet have we mem'ries that upbear the burden And rift the shadows of our "little while." Whilst here, he loved the songs of Zion, He'll wake to sing in Heaven's supernal choir, And to our ears and souls, his voice, yet speaking, Will find its chord in our fond hearts desire. And thus we leave our soldier sleeping, With war's wild tempest now forever o'er, And wait the coming of the Morning Glory, Where all is calm on that Elysian shore. [Papers Past-Feilding Star, Volume XIV, Issue 35189, 27 April 1918]
