The monument on the grave of Dr. Gregory Paul Jordan and behind his grave is that of his brother, Vardon Jordan Jordan.

The the grave of John Gregory Jordan (a cousin of Gregory and Vardon) and his wife Sophie Agnes Jordan (nee Bagram).
 

The grave of Vardon Jordan Jordan

the inscription on Gregory Paul Jordan's grave is legible but dirty. 

In loving memory of Gregory Paul Jordan LL.D.
of Hong Kong
who passed away on December 4th 1921

His Word Is His Bond.

However, at the time I visited I found the grave to be doubled up with another monument on top belonging to Mary Teresa Kennedy.  I enquired with the cemetery superintendent who told me that it was only a temporary arrangement whilst they interred some remains in her grave. Gregory Jordan's grave will soon be returned to normal.

In the register, which is held at the cemetery office the entry for Gregory Jordan states "This grave is not to be re-opened see "important letters".  Jordan 24.2.1923".  However, there were no documents attached to the register entry so I don't know what was in the "important letters".

In loving memory of Sophie Agnes wife of
John Gregory Jordan Lt. Col. I.M.S.
died 5th September 1919
In her 47th year
Until the day break and the shadows flee away
 

And of John Gregory Jordan
Lt. Col. I.M.S. Retd.
who died 5th October 1938 aged 78 years

Vardon Jordan Jordan
Who passed peacefully into rest
December 29th 1919
Born October 9th 1853
 

"Darling Father how we loved you
How we would have kept you here
but our Heavenly Father wished you
in His presence to appear
where we hope some day to meet you
when our days on earth are fled
and in joy in heaven to greet you
where no parting tear is shed"
 
On the stone lying on its side in the top picture it says
In ever
fond and loving
memory of
our beloved father
