On the front, south-facing side of the plinth, there is an inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND THE HONOURED / MEMORY OF BATTLE MEN WHO GAVE THEIR / LIVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY AD 1914-1918 / GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, / THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS," followed by the names of 41 fallen soldiers.
