Plaque Text:
IN MEMORY OF
THE SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS
OF THE WORLD WAR
Smithsonian Institute list this as a E. M. Viquesney statue in the remarks section of their listings. I cannot confirm this on any other site. According to the Viquesney site this is not.
Proper Description of Statue:
"Figure of a World War I soldier, dressed in uniform, holding a gun in both hands, pointing upward and forward. The solider wears a helmet and backpack, and steps forward with his proper right leg, as if walking up an incline. The sculpture is set atop a rough granite base with plaques on three sides." ~ Smithsonian Institute Art Museum
