The inscription on the left side reads: "To the immortal memory of those from the Ironstone area who gave their lives for their country".

This inscription, located on the right side of the memorial reads: "Britain writes the epitaph - they died that we might live". On the back side of the memorial these words are inscribed: "If ye break faith with us who die, we shall not sleep though poppies grow in Flanders fields".
