The front of the monument shows signs that a plaque was once attached there, though it is unclear (by me) what was inscribed upon it. Being the same size as the one attached on the back of the monument - did it become dislodged from the front, and was then reattached on the opposite side?

The Farmers Cabinet, on Tues., 8 April 1879, reported that the monument would be made of Fitzwilliam Granite, and stand 15 feet, 6 inches high, and was supposed to be dedicated that July 4th. Owing to a disagreement as to where to erect the monument, it wasn't until Christmas Day 1879 when the dedication took place. A landowner beside the South Cemetery had donated land for the memorial.

This monument stands in East Derry, New Hampshire, on the grounds beside the First Parish Congregational Church. It stands 27 feet, 8 inches high, the pedestal made of blue Quincy granite, supporting the bronze statue of an infantryman on top. Bronze plates were embedded onto the four sides, inscribed with the names of 152 men who had served from Derry. Of these, 4 were listed as killed in action, 20 died while in service, and 128 were honorably discharged (an additional man was later added).

On Tuesday, October 1st, 1889, the schools of Derry were closed for the afternoon, allowing the scholars and teachers to attend the dedication of this new Soldiers' Monument at 2 o'clock. The N.H. G.A.R. was in charge of the ceremony, with numerous local Posts attending the event. They included Derry's Upton Post, No. 45; Wesley B. Knight Post, No. 41, of Derry Depot and Londonderry; Gilman E. Sleeper Post, No. 60, of Salem; Bell, No. 74, of Chester; H. C. Little, No. 33, Hampstead. The Relief Corps No. 19, of Derry and No. 54 of Derry Depot and Londonderry also attended, as well as the Charles Francis Adams Camp, Sons of Veterans, of Derry.

On Sunday, the 9th of June, 2019, the town of Richmond, New Hampshire held a dedication for its newly installed monument to honor their Civil War soldiers. The names of 79 men, and the regiments they belonged to, are inscribed on the plaque, with twenty-seven of them marked as having died during their service.

During the afternoon ceremony, the names of every man on the memorial was read, with the ringing of a bell following each one. The 6th NH Infantry, acting as honor guard for the event, closed the ceremony by firing several volleys.

The following are all of the names on the monument. Though the plaque has three columns for the inscriptions, spacing on this blog page wouldn't allow the same set-up. Here are the Richmond, NH soldiers of the War of the Rebellion:
