Princeton Battlefield Grave Inscription


Near here lie buried the American and British officers and soldiers who fell in the battle of Princeton January 3rd, 1777.

Here freedom stood by slaughtered friend and foe and ere the wrath paled or that sunset died looked through the ages; then, with eyes aglow, laid then to wait that future side by side.

Alfred Noyes 1880-1958
