    Only a package of letters is all I have to see, But my dear bov that died for his country Is ever remembered by me. The letters were sent from the trenches, But the hand of the writer lies cold. And the name on each letter is written in the letters of gold. A soldier yes, and a hero, too, He wore the colors of chocolate and blue. He played a man's part through and through, When the Flags are over the roadway, And the soldiers come marching, home, May God have pitv on us waiting ones, Whose loved ones will never come home -Inserted bv his friend Doris Ind ref. The Advertiser, 15 October 1919, page 6

There was a Morcom family in Lead, South Dakota. The faces are almost identical. They owned the Morcom clothing store there. Jack died just a couple of months ago.

MORCOM (Private W F)
Only a package of letters is all I have to see,
But my dear bov that died for his country
Is ever remembered by me.
The letters were sent from the trenches,
But the hand of the writer lies cold.
And the name on each letter is written in the
letters of gold.
A soldier yes, and a hero, too,
He wore the colors of chocolate and blue.
He played a man's part through and through,
When the Flags are over the roadway,

And the soldiers come marching, home,
May God have pitv on us waiting ones,
Whose loved ones will never come home
