Milford War Memorial Flagpole

Located on the southern edge of the Milford Oval in Union Square is the Milford War Memorial Flagpole, erected by the town in 1927.

The substantial granite base is engraved on two sides. The southern facing side is inscribed:

IN HONOR
OF
HER CITIZENS
WHO HAVE SERVED
THEIR COUNTRY
IN TIME OF WAR

THIS MONUMENT IS ERECTED
BY THE
TOWN OF MILFORD
A.D. 1927

The inscription on the opposite side reads:

THE MOTHER KEEPS THEM IN HER HEART
AND GUARDS THEIR ALTAR FLAME
THE STILL NORTH REMEMBERS THEM
THE HILL-WINDS KNOW THEIR NAME
AND THE GRANITE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
KEEPS THE RECORD OF THEIR FAME
