This white marble tablet is below a similar tablet that had been placed for 'the Great War'. It is on a blackened sandstone cliff, just up from some public toilets, at Colo River Park, beside Colo River, and below the overpass of Putty Road. The leaded inscription is missing some pieces of lead, and is a little hard to discern some of the lettering. It reads:
