The cross is quite worn out by the age: there are two empty ovals where probably photograps used to be and an empty space for a plaque. The only remaining writing in German is at the bottom of the base:
"Herr! Lasse sie sanft ruhen fremder Erde"
(Lord! Let them sleep peacefully in a foreign land)
It could be a memorial for WW I soldiers fallen faraway from home but I didn't find any evidence onsite or online.
