It was dedicated in 1927.The sculptor, Karl Illava, was a sergeant with the 107th Infantry. He captures from memory the myriad emotions and physical responses to war. The seven larger than life-size figures display both the aggressive stance of combat as well as the concerned care of wounded comrades.
