{Around the base of the cross:}
This cross of sacrifice is one in design and intention with those which have been set up in France and Belgium and other places throughout the world where our dead of the Great War are laid to rest.
Their name liveth for evermore.

The names of those buried in this cemetery without headstones on their graves are listed on a separate nearby memorial.
