Most Cape-based Revolutionary soldiers didn’t go far—they were involved in seacoast defense on the Cape. Six granite stones with brass plaques showing the men’s names, biographical details, and designation as Revolutionary War soldiers will be placed on gravesites of the six men at a ceremony planned for April 16, Patriots Day.
