I'm a little late for yesterday's offering, but sharing this image of an infant's grave (still?)born 51 years ago today felt timely.

After digging around on Google, I believe the inscriptions on either side of this grave for (I presume) brothers in Hitchin Cemetery are from Bible verses.

i have fought a good fight

From 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 and 2 Timothy 4:7-8 in the King James version specifically.

A Wesleyan Minister and a World War I soldier buried alongside the wife of the Minister. I didn't check the other side, so there may also have been the wife of the soldier commemorated in this plot.

This inscription style appeared a few times in the cemetery, although sometimes with different fonts.
