The message reads: "To one I love away on duty, The Lord watch over us livest (?) me and thee. When we are absent be night or day, When distance lies between us land or sea, And we are hidden from each other's sight"

Although he was promoted to Captain for his actions in battle, injury resulted in the loss of sight in his left eye and withdrawal from active duty.
