Erected by Public Subscription in memory of William Cowper, Sub Editor of The John O’Groats Journal died Feb 26th 1918. As a Journalist his pen was ever tipped with brightness and a most pleasing humour. As a soldier he served in the South African Campaign 1885-1902 and he died while in training for the Great War against Prussion Militarism, having attained the rank of Sergt. In the 5th (Res) Batt. H.L.I. As an Entertainer his talents were conspicuous, and he flooded every hall in which he appeared with laughter and joy. As a husband, sch., citizen and friend he was loved and esteemed. His spirit fell on rich and poor, as kind as slumber after pain.
