Written in Czech, the stone reads:
"To their big compatriot, fighter for the liberation of the
nation,
Josef Tvrzicky.
That you snatched us from the German force and
returned to the Czech school
that you clinged to the native heath with great love
that you worked yourself to death for it
that we cannot bring your grave nearer to the native
land otherwise
we donated to you a part of your homeland
a stone from the native forests of Libin.
Prachatice in July 1921.
Grateful children of Prachatice."

The plot was purchased by the Czechoslovak Legation
