TO THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD
AND IN PROUD AND LOVING MEMORY
OF THOSE WHO FROM THIS VILLAGE
AT THE CALL OF KING AND COUNTRY
IN THE GREAT WARS
LEFT ALL THAT WAS DEAR TO THEM
ENDURED HARDSHIPS, FACED DANGER,
AND FINALLY PASSED OUT OF THE SIGHT OF MEN.
THIS CROSS IS ERECTED
BY THEIR FELLOW VILLAGERS
IN GRATITUDE FOR THEIR DEVOTION TO DUTY
AND SELF SACRIFICE.
