(Left Side):
Men of Wilkes!
Know through all time that they fought to maintain a just Union; to defend constitutional government, to perpetuate American liberties, and left you their patriotic spirit.
(Back):
"Lord God of Hosts be with us yet,
Lest we forget. Lest we forget."
(Right Side):
"On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round,
the bivouac of the dead."
