N.  A brass tablet was installed in 1915 in memory of Kenneth Weeks (1889-1915), who had moved to France in 1910 and enlisted in the French Foreign Legion in 1914. He was the son of Andrew Gray and Alice S. Weeks (1863-1940).
Its inscription reads:  Sacred to the memory of Kenneth Weeks, Etranger 2eme Regiment de March Batallion B.  Born Dec 30, 1889 @ Chestnut Hill MA; son of Andrew. G. & Alice S. Weeks.  Volunteered for France, Aug. 1914; fought in the battle of Neuville St. Vaast, and died on the field of honor at Givenchy, June 7, 1915, in the 26th year of his age.  Faithful to the best in life, fearless of the worst in death, and so triumphant.
