A portion of the plaque inside the Illinois Memorial.
“This tablet, contains the names so far as they can be ascertained, of the officers and men from Illinois, who served upon the staff of General Grant, or of the Corps, Division and brigade commanders, and also those from Illinois, who served in the Navy or Mississippi Marine Brigade during the campaign and siege of Vicksburg. Those, and the names inscribed in bronze on the interior of this memorial were compiled by the Illinois-Vicksburg Military Park Commission from the Records of the State of Illinois.”
