Thomas Richard Leigh

Gunner 1426647

Royal Artillery, 8th Coast Regiment

Lisbon Maru

Died 1st October 1942 Age 23

We tried, we tried, oh God we tried
So we could be here too
And walk around remembering
And look for names we knew
Our lives were lost so far away
Upon a distant shore
But we are here in memory
As you read our names once more
Remember us, remember us
Although we're truly gone
Remember us, as we once were
And not just names in stone

In affectionate memory of our Tommy who died so young and so far away.
You are remembered by all in your extended family, now and always.
