HERE ARE RECORDED THE NAMES OF TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND
SOLDIERS OF MANY RACES UNITED IN SERVICE TO THE BRITISH CROWN
WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES IN BURMA AND ASSAM BUT TO WHOM THE
FORTUNE OF WAR DENIED THE CUSTOMARY RITES ACCORDED
TO THEIR COMRADES IN DEATH
THEY DIED FOR ALL FREE MEN
The names of the soldiers engraved on the pillars
The graves of the soldiers
