Colour photo of a bronze plaque with the French inscription followed by an English translation reading “Near this spot, Father Portneuf and some parishioners were killed after an heroic sortie against Captain Montgomery’s détachement, on August 24th, 1759. They were buried at Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré.” At the bottom of the plaque, it reads: Commission des monuments et sites historiques ou artistiques.
