Adjacent to the Chateau Frontenac is a small park, containing an obelisk in honour of both Montcalm AND Wolfe. There is a plaque in front of the obelisk with the history:
This monument was built by the Earl of Dalhousie to pay tribute to the two Generals who lost their lives in the Battle of the Plains of Abraham on September 13, 1759. Following the battle, England took possession of New France. The Latin inscription translates as follows:
"Courage granted them both with a common death,
History with a common fame,
Posterity with a common monument."
George, Earl of Dalhousie, Governor in Chief of the British territories of North America, laid the foundation stone of this monument in memory of the heroes Wolfe and Montcalm. This project was neglected for many years, but he made use of his authority to promote it, of his example to stimulate it and of his munificence to favour it : what could best become an outstanding statesman?
The fifteenth day of November, in 1827 A.D., under the reign of George IV of England."
