The rear of the memorial features an engraved quotation from John Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, which states, "AND ALL THE TRUMPETS SOUNDED/ FOR THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE." Additionally, there is a side plaque dedicated to those who died in the Second World War, inscribed with "TO THOSE WHO DIED/ IN THE/ SECOND WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945/ (NAMES)."
