A black and white photograph of a cracked and damaged memorial plaque with engraved names, including Oliver H. Calkins, Lawrence E. Chapman, and Merwyn W. Gorsuch, among others. The plaque appears to be made of dark stone or metal with white lettering, and the cracks run through several names, obscuring parts of them.
