"Cemetery notes and/or description:
As of June 1998 all of the ground consisting of Fort Robinette, including the UDC Confederate Park, are a part of the National Park Service, administered by the Director of Shiloh National Battlefield Park.
There are 6 markers of unknown Confederate Soldiers.
There is a large double maarker with this inscription:
We care not whence they came
Dear in their lifeless clay
Whether known or unknown to fame
Their cause and country still the same
They died and wore the gray
Remember the unknown heroes
They are equal to the same thing
Are equal to each other."
Local historians believe that the six unknown graves at this cemetery belong to Confederate color bearers.
