Inscription. Click to hear the inscription.

These twelve granite stones, encircling the Cenotaph honour the men and women of Peterborough City and County who answered their country's call in World War One, World War Two and The Korean War. They returned, but will forever embrace those who gave their lives that the guns might be silent and the world folded in the arms of peace.

Dedicated October 9, 2010

Ces douze pierres de granit, encerclant le cenotaphe honerent les hommes et des femmes de Peterborough, ville et comté, qui répondirent à l'appel de leur pays durant les Première et Deuxième Guerres mondiales et la Guerre de Corée. Certains sont revenus. Ceux-cr n oublieront jamais ceux qui donnèrent leur vie pour que les armes soient silencieuses et le monde en paix
