Quoted from book;
“To The Memory of My Beloved Son
Captain John Lauder

First 8th, Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders
Killed in France December 28, 1916

Oh, there’s sometimes I am lonely
and I’m Weary a’ the day
To see the face and clasp the hand
Of him who is away.
The only one Gad gave me,
My one and only joy,
My life and love were centered on
My one and only boy.

I saw him in his infant days
Grow up from year to year,
That he would some day be a man
I never had a fear.
His mother watched his every step,
“Twas our united joy
To think what he might be one day
My one and only boy.

When war broke out he buckled on
His sword, and said, “Good-bye,
For I must do my duty, Dad;
Tell Mother not to cry,
Tell her that I’ll come back again.”
What happiness and joy!
But no, he died for Liberty,
My one and only boy.

The days are long, the nights are drear,
The anguish breaks my heart,
But oh!  I’m proud my one and only
Laddie played his part.
For God knows best, His will be done,
His grace does me employ.
I do believe I’ll meet again
My one and only boy.
