Inscription

[front/devant]
SINCE THE EARLIEST CRUSADE
MEN AND WOMEN HAVE SUFFERED
IN THE THROES OF WAR
NOT FOR PERSONAL GAIN OR GLORY
BUT FOR THE PRESERVATION OF AN IDEAL
THAT RIGHTEOUS FREEDOM
MIGHT BE REALISED AS A REWARD
TO ALL MANKIND

THUS WE, THE CITIZENS OF EAST YORK
ERECT THIS SYMBOL TO COMMEMORATE
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS
THOSE WHO LAID DOWN THEIR LIVES
OR WERE INCAPACITATED
SERVING THE CAUSE OF SUCH FREEDOM
IN THE VICTORIOUS WARS OF
1914 1918 1939 1945

PRAY THAT THE CRUSADE IS NOW ENDED

IN ETERNAL PEACE

1950 KOREA 1953

PEACEKEEPING

IN GRATEFUL TRIBUTE
MAY THEIR SACRIFICE
BE NOT FORGOTTEN

AND OUR SPECIAL FORCES
