The side of memorial features inscription:

BENEATH THIS STONE REPOSE THE BONES OF
TWO THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN UNKNOWN
SOLDIERS GATHERED AFTER THE WAR. FROM THE FIELDS OF BULL RUN,
AND THE ROUTE TO THE RAPPAHANNOCK, THEIR REMAINS COULD NOT BE
IDENTIFIED. BUT THEIR NAMES AND DEATHS ARE RECORDED IN THE ARCHIVES OF
THEIR COUNTY, AND ITS GRATEFUL CITIZENS HONOR THEM AS OF THEIR
NOBEL ARMY OF MARTYRS.  MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.
SEPTEMBER. A. C. 1866.
