It took time to compensate for the huge lack of pixels. I think this is what the shrine looks like, engraved on the tombstone "In loving memory of Pte. T. Candy, aged 16 years, who died in battle at Pozières on 19th July, 1916. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
