In Walpole, on the Walpole Town Green, is this flagpole and rock with a plaque on it for Private Everett "Rocky" Rockwood, Jr.
The monument is located on the eastern portion of the green, among other memorials. The flagpole gives it away, however.
The site includes a flagpole, and a rock about two feet cubed (sloping down at one end, though). On one side is a bronze plaque that has the following on it:
