[English] They will never know the beauty of this place, see the seasons change, enjoy nature’s chorus. All we enjoy we owe to them, men and women who lie buried in the earth of foreign lands and in the seven seas. Dedicated to the memory of Canadians who died overseas in the service of their country and so preserved our heritage.

[Français] La beauté de ces lieux, leur faune, leur flore et leurs paysages font partie de notre patrimoine canadien. Souvenons-nous que des canadiens et des canadiennes ont consenti à faire don de leur vie pour que nous puissions en jouir. Quant à eux, ils ne les verront jamais. Très loin de leur foyer et de leur pays natal se trouve le lieu de leur dernier repos (outre-mer et dans les sept océans). C'est à leur mémoire que cette plaque est dédiée.
