Inscription.
The battlefield cross is a symbolic representation for someone who has been killed in action. This current tradition originated during World War I and has continued in every conflict since. Comrades in arms erect the cross to show honor and respect for the brave souls who gave their lives in defense of their country.

The battlefield memorial contains a rifle pointed downwards, with a fixed bayonet, the service member’s helmet, boots and dog tags.

It is common in a battlefield memorial service for fellow service members to touch a portion of the battlefield cross to say good-bye to their fallen comrade.
