The plaque reads:
"Here the British turned into Galloping Hill Road from Elizabeth to Connecticut Farms and Springfield at the time of the Battles, June 7 and 23, 1780. Washington afterwards said of the New Jersey Militia, 'They flew to arms universally and acted with a spirit equal to anything I have seen during the war." A son of General William Crane is said to have been bayoneted to death by British soldiers near this spot." [1]
