World War I fatality.

Marker reads:
"I join with my grateful people in sending you this memorial of a brave life given for others in the Great War. George R.I."

George R.I. is King George V of Great Britain. The marker is made to look like the Memorial Plaque and Scroll given to Commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives between 1914-1920. It is apparently quite unusual to see it on a cemetery monument.
