Inscriptions Inscribed in pencil on mount, on recto, BC: Men At Work \ Not in clanging fights and desperate marches only is heroism to be looked for / But on every bridge and building that is going up to-day / On freight-trains, on vessels and lumber-rafts, in mines, among the firemen and policemen / The demand for courage is incessant and the supply never fails / These are our soldiers, our sustainers, the very parents of our life. William James
