The dedication reads: Sacred to the memory of the boys educated in Dr. Guthrie's Industrial Schools who fell in India, Egypt, The Soudan, and South Africa fighting for their Queen, King and Country. They fell with their backs to the Veldt and their feet to the foe. "Leaving in battle no blot on their name Looking proudly to Heaven from their death-bed of fame." "The brave poor sodger ne'er despise Nor count him as a stranger. Remember he's his country's stay In day and hour of danger." Erected with money collected for the purpose By William Henderson, Superintendent, October 1902
