Delaware and Maryland regiments made up the bulk of the Southern Continental Army at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. The Delaware Monument marks the grave of three unknown American soldiers who fell on the battlefield. Their remains were discovered in 1888 in an area where Continental Troops were positioned in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse. They were identified by coat buttons stamped "U.S.A."
The marker contains the rather poetic inscription:
Three Continental SoldiersRest Here
On Fame's Eternal Camping Ground
On the reverse is inscribed the date of the battle and a Revolutionary War era U.S. flag.
