In grateful remembrance of the Gateshead men who lost their lives in their country's service. This memorial was erected by their fellow townsmen, October 1905.
How sleep the brave who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes best, By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung. William Collins - Lines in 1746
