On the north are a group of flags drums, cannons, cannon balls and a medallion of President Lincoln and his well-known statement, “With Malice Toward none, With Charity for All.” And below this the words, “One country, One Flag, One Destiny.” The west panel has a bas-relief portrait of a soldier with the inscription, “They died for their country.” The east and south sides consist of a bas-relief stacked rifles and beneath them the names of six officers and thirty-five enlisted men who had fallen. Beneath these names are the words, “In Memory of our Brave Soldiers.”
