The front of the monument has the following inscription:

IN GRATEFUL APPRECIATION

OF THE PATRIOTISM AND SELF SACRIFICE OF HER LAMENTED SONS AND SOLDIERS WHO FOR THEIR COUNTRY AND FOR FREEDOM LAID DOWN THEIRS LIVES IN THE WAR OF THE GREAT REBELLION

DEERFIELD ERECTS THIS MONUMENT A. D. 1867

THEIR PRECIOUS DUST IS SCATTERED ON MANY BATTLEFIELDS, OR WAS HASTILY BURIED NEAR SOME LOATHSOME PRISON PEN: BUT THEIR NAMES ARE HERE PERPETUATED. AND THE MEMORY OF THEIR BRAVE DEEDS AND WILLING SACRIFICES SHALL BE CHERISHED IN OUR HEART OF HEARTS SACREDLY AND FOREVER.
