Inscription

AT THE CALL OF KING AND COUNTRY THEY LEFT ALL
THAT WAS DEAR TO THEM, ENDURED HARDNESS, FACED DANGER,
AND FINALLY PASSED OUT OF SIGHT OF MEN BY THE
PATH OF DUTY AND SELF SACCRIFICE, GIVING UP THEIR
OWN LIVES THAT OTHERS MIGHT LIVE IN FREEDOM.

LET THOSE WHO COME AFTER SEE TO IT
THAT THEIR NAMES BE NOT FORGOTTEN.

IN GRATITUDE TO GOD AND
TO THE MEN AND WOMEN FROM

THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR

BOTH BY NIGHT AND DAY.
