The Auckland & County Chronicle 22/09/1921 contains an In Memoriam notice which reads:
“Ayres – In loving memory of Lance-Corp. Ralph Marley Ayres, son of William and S.E. Ayres, 9 High View, Ushaw Moor, who was killed in action in the battle of Loos, on Sept. 25th 1915. Always remembered by father, mother, brothers, and sister-in-law, Madge.
Sleep on, dear son, and take thy rest,
For God has called when He thought best;
The loss was great that we sustain,
But in heaven we hope to meet again.

He is remembered in Ushaw Moor on U8.02 and U8.03
