""Five were captured." This implies they were captured because they were signers. Only one was captured for signing the document. The rest were captured as soldiers."
This point you're making here I find pedantic. Saying they weren't captured BECAUSE they were signors, but merely SOLDIERS, is almost lefty-levels of retarded. But I don't want to be too rude here, same team and all. But you're stepping on your own toes for no reason.
Your only point of helpful clarification is about the deaths of the "9". In your info regarding their deaths, you mention the final thing that killed them. Were these 9 men truly wounded during the war? If they were, then their final causes of death in some of those instances could be attributed to wounds originating from the war. And the sailor missing is presumed dead, though if it indeed happened after the war, that's a valid criticism.
However, notice the stone gets the general point across much more succinctly than you. Nothing is lost in honoring these men by leaving it at what the stone says.

This is you, isn't it?
Regarding the 9, makes sense. Point taken. Thanks for the info.
