Grand Army Comrades - Deer Lodge, MT - American Civil War Monuments and Memorials on Waymarking.com

A bronze plaque inset into a pink granite stone. Can be found in the Hillcrest Cemetery just outside of Deer Lodge, Montana. While no date or name of who placed it is on the memorial, it is likely it was the GAR sometime around the beginning of the 20th century.

The 34 names listed on the plaque.

Inscription above the names, which makes one wonder whether the use of wooden tombstones which would rapidly degrade was practiced at the time.

The words on the plaque are as follows:

MEMORIAL

Erected in honor of the following Grand Army comrades whose bodies lie in unmarked graves in this cemetery and to any Grand Army comrade whose body lies in an unmarked grave in the County of Powell, Montana.
