Proper Description:
"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
