An inscription on the base of the memorial states:

Here 8th May 1915, the Originals of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry commanded by their founder Major A Hamilton Gault held firm and counted not the cost.

That cost was almost 400 casualties - the battalion being reduced to just 4 officers and 150 men.

The memorial was unveiled in 1958 by Mrs Hamilton Gault the widow of the Battalion's founder.
