Default Fake stone cladding - how to refix to wall?

The front of our 1930's semi has fake stone cladding on it, and two pieces
which had been previously rather precariously hanging/leaning off since
we've moved in 7 months ago. This morning they decided to make a jump for
freedom but met with a slightly unfortunately placed concrete path.

From what I saw as I left the house this morning, the larger one has broken
in two.

Now, I'm hoping there is an easy way of replacing this cladding. I'm not
sure how they were attached before - but they certainly had pointing between
them. Any suggestions as to what I should use to re-attach them? I'd
rather not have to worry about re-pointing them at the moment as I need to
do some other work sometime to replace the flashing on the upstairs bay
where I'll probably need to do some repointing then, so I don't want to do
it spread over two jobs. What I'm thinking of is something like a big dab
of No More Nails (or something similar) or even waterproof tile adhesive.
Hopefully I'll be able to put the broken pieces together and the crack won't
be noticeable (I hope!).

Is this the right sort of thing to use?

Thanks

David
