The east face of the plinth is smooth and features an incised inscription that reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD/ AND/ IN LOVING MEMORY OF/ SERGT HENRY PRATT/ CAN MGC/ COY SERGT MAJOR WILLIAM PRATT/ 3RD BATT TORONTO REGT/ OF THIS PLACE/ 1914 – 1918." The north face of the plinth has the inscription "THY WILL BE DONE," while the south face reads "INTERRED IN FRANCE."
