English:
This tablet commemorated the valour and endurance displayed against overwhelming odds, by the French forces, who, in 1745 and again in 1758, garrisoned the defensive batteries on the Island opposite the entrance to the harbour of Louisbourg and facing this spot.
French:
Cette plaque est érigée en hommage à la bravoure et à l'endurance dont firent preuve, contre des troupes bien supérieures, les troupes françaises retranchées dans l'ile située en face de l'entrée du port de Louisbourg en 1745 et en 1758.
