To the brave men of this district who responded to duty’s call and helped to win the great war, 1914-1918,” and on the base – “The names inscribed hereon are of those from this town and district who at the call of King and Country left all that was dear to them, endured hardship, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self-sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom.” On the other three sides of the memorial are engraved the names of the fallen. On the right and left of the cap stone are the inscriptions: “Their name liveth for evermore” and “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
