Inscription.
To the Holmes County
soldiers of 1861—1865,
and members of Holmes
County Camp No 398 U.C.V.
in memory of their
patriotism and heroism
and to commend their
example to future
generations.

Their deeds, proud deeds.
shall remain for us.
Their names, dear names,
without stain for us.
The glories they won
shall not wane for us.
In legend and lay,
our heroes in gray,
shall forever live,
over again for us.

The men were right

never die.

Honor to heroes,
