Gloria est Pro Patria Mori

Erected by Lieut. Col. Albert A. Pope, as a
memorial of his dead comrades.

 

Up until the early 1960s the 35th Massachusetts Infantry Monument was mounted on the corner of the Burnside Bridge. When the Bridge was restored and auto traffic re-routed to a bypass, the monuments were moved to the east bank.
