In the foreground is the bust of Lafayette McLaws. Inscribed on the base of his monument are these words: "Lafayette McLaws, Major General, Confederate States Army, born Augusta, Ga., January 15th, 1821, died Savannah, Ga., July 24th, 1887."

The base of the Confederate Monument reads: "To our dead heroes, by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Victrix Causa Diis Placuit Sed Victa Catoni." M. Ezekiel, sculptor, Rome, MCMXII. Made by Aktien-Gesellschaft Gladenbeck. "Not for fame or reward, not for place or for rank, not lured by ambition, or goaded by necessity, but in simple obedience to duty, as they understood it, these men suffered all, sacrified all, dared all—and died." - Randolph Harrison McKim
