Basically, this is two slabs of rock joined together on an angle. There is a plaque on each. The memorial looks rather new but who can be sure? This is one of the lesser known memorials in this town, and there are plenty. One side of the memorial reads:
"HONOR ROLL
JULY 15, 1919
Of the Soldiers and Sailors Who
Entered the Service from the
Township of Gloucester,
In the County of Camden
The same inscription is repeated on the other side. In front, carved in the rock it reads "OUR HONOR ROLL". There was a flag there and some seriously overgrown landscaping. It is up on a small rise and sits upon a lawn.
