Inscription
"Original monument erected in 1867 by soldiers in the Third Infantry, to honor fellow soldiers who lost their lives at the fort. After Fort Larned was closed in 1878, this monument was moved to the Larned [city] Cemetery in 1887. In 2009 it was returned to the site of the original Fort Larned cemetery. While some of the original inscriptions have been lost much of the following can still be made out.
J. B. McIntyre Col. USA died at Fort Larned Kansas May 9, 1867, was one of the officers, of extra duty, maintained the honor of his country g.(gallantly) during the days of the recent rebellion"
