Civil War Monument - Sunrise Memorial Cemetery - Vallejo, CA - American Civil War Monuments and Memorials on Waymarking.com

Located in the south central part of Sunrise Memorial Cemetery atop of hillside overlooking Vallejo is a Naval Veterans cemetery section. Within this section contains a Medal of Honor recipient, along with a Grand Army of the Republic memorial dedicated to the Unknown Dead from the Civil War. Sadly, this monument has been vandalized and the obelisk portion lays next to its base. There's an inscription on the north side of the monument (very difficult to decipher) that reads:

ERECTED
TO THE MEMORY OF
THE UNKNOWN DEAD
1861 - 1865
BY FARRAGUT RELIEF
CORPS No. 39, W.R.C.
VALLEJO, MAY 30,
1898.

G.A.R.

The W.R.C. stands for Woman's Relief Corps. There are a number of Civil War veterans located in this small section of the cemetery as well as in another official Veterans Cemetery section (which I did not visit).
