Spiritualized Life, Memorial Park 

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

Memorial Park was designed by the famed Olmsted Brothers and dedicated on Dec. 25, 1924. It is the only park in the state dedicated to the 1,220 Floridians who lost their lives in service during World War I.  In his composition of “Life” for Memorial Park, Charles Adrian Pillars made powerful use of the grand, theatrical style of Beaux Arts sculpture. Even though this style was regarded as somewhat old-fashioned by the 1920s, Pillars nonetheless found it fitting to tell a moving story of the true spirit of those who served. He wrote that he “desired this memorial to present the idea of life, its struggle and its victory."  To further honor the fallen, the names of the more than 1,220 Floridians who died in the First World War were inscribed on parchment and placed in a lead box within a bronze box inside of Life.

One of several WWI memorials in the city of Paterson, the original Spruce Street Bridge War Memorial plaque was dedicated on Memorial Day, 1932 to those who served in World War I. 

The bridge is adjacent to the Passaic River, just above Paterson's Great Falls located in Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park. The bridge/overlook contains several low granite steps and a granite floor, bounded by a paneled concrete railing.  The modern replica bronze plaque is mounted to the central panel.

St. Adalbert's Cemetery -- once called Polish Union Cemetery and sometimes still known as Holy Trinity Cemetery (the two cemeteries were merged in the 1970s) -- is on Milwaukees's south side and is one of the older cemeteries in the area.  There is a corner of the cemetery into which were returned many of the Polish men from the city's south side killed in World War I. Included in this group was Sgt. John Czajka, the 4th American soldier killed in combat. In this corner of World War I graves the Army and Navy erected a stone obelisk in honor of the south side soldiers. Other former soldiers were buried here in the inter-war years and several were brought home during and after World War II.

The project to erect a Viquesney Spirit of the American Doughboy monument in Taylor Park in St. Albans began in late 1922 or early 1923. Various committees worked to raise funds under the overall direction of former Vermont Governor E. C. Smith. The executive committee was comprised of Fuller C. Smith, chairman; N. N. Atwood, treasurer; Harry Walker, Secretary; Steven S. Cushing; W. H. Finn; J. J. Thompson; E. R; Thibault; G. R. White; and George Grossman. American Legion Green Mountain Post No. 1, under Post Commander Donald L. McCrary, provided enthusiastic support. Most religious, fraternal, civic and social organizations were also involved.

The estimated cost was $5,000. A drive to raise the funds began in July 1923 and a committee of 100 volunteers promised to call upon every one of the 2,200 households to request donations, hoping that the $5,000 could be raised in a single day, August 14. The St. Albans Messenger had almost daily articles for two weeks in advance and letters were addressed to every household to alert the residents. The committee promised to place the names of the solicitors and every donor on a list to be deposited in the base of the monument. (Presumably, this was done.) The drive was a success and most of the required funds were raised on the appointed day.

The Doughboy monument, on a ten-foot pedestal of Barre granite, was dedicated at 3:00 p. m. on November 11, 1923, in a ceremony preceded by a parade organized by WWI veteran, Captain C. E. Pell, Grand Marshall. The parade was lead by the St. Albans Brigade band, which was followed by state and local officials, community organization members, survivors of past wars, and contributing sponsors.

Major S. S. Watson, senior St. Albans WWI military officer, was in charge of the dedication ceremony. An invocation by the Legion Post Chaplain, Stanley C. Cummings, was followed by an unveiling by J. G. Moore, a Civil War veteran and Commander of the A. R. Hurlbut Post, Grand Army of the Republic. The bronze plaque on the side of the monument was also uncovered.

Following the unveiling, the St. Albans Glee Club sang "The Soldiers Farewell." Charles E. Barber, Commander of the American Legion Department of Vermont then spoke. He was followed by Mayor F. A. Collins, who accepted the monument on behalf of the city. Congressman John Q Tilson of Massachusetts, a member of the U. S. House of Representatives Military Affairs Committee and a veteran of the Spanish-American War on the Mexican Border Campaign, delivered the main address of the day. The ceremony closed with a benediction by Chaplain Cummings followed by a rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" by the St. Albans Brigade Band.

Each year, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the Green Mountain American Legion Post No. 1 holds a ceremony at the Taylor Park site of the Doughboy.

St. Anthony's Doughboy by Avard Fairbanks

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

The St. Anthony's Doughboy Memorial is located in Veterans Park, surrounded by the flowing water of Henry's Fork, a tributary of the Snake River.  In commemoration of the centennial of World War I, the statue was restored to its original state when it was first dedicated and brought to the city in 1922.  Sometimes referred to as Victorious American Doughboy, it is a bronze figure of an infantryman wielding a rifle and carrying on his hip two German helmets, souvenirs of victory.  It was sculpted by American sculptor Avard Fairbanks (1897-1987).  Additional monuments have been placed to honor those who have served in the military.

The Memorial Bell Tower at St. James Episcopal Church replaced the original steeple in 1919, honoring the church members who served in World War I.   Seven young men died in the war; 91 others fought and returned home. 

The Bell Tower contains 13 bells that have rung hourly for almost a century.  Seven bells are engraved with the name of one of the soldiers killed. 

Beneath the cornerstone of the tower is a bronze medal commemorating the signing of the Treaty of Peace at Versailles.  The buttresses contain shields symbolizing the US, England, Belgium, France & Italy, as well as Victory, and the 29th & 78th Army Divisions which included New Jersey troops.  A bronze tablet honor roll is set into the tower's vestibule wall.

This bronze tablet honors the 21 fallen parishioners of St. John’s Cathedral (RC) that made the supreme sacrifice during the great war. The plaque was commissioned by the parents and parishioners of St. John’s under the direction of Rev. Dean McNulty in 1919. The members of the parish held a solemn high military mass on Thanksgiving. “At the conclusion of the mass, the roll call of the twenty-one dead was held, and each of the girls answered a name as a candle on the altar was extinguished and the bell in the tower was tolled” (The Morning Call, Nov. 28, 1919). The plaque was then unveiled and blessed by Rev. Dean McNulty.

The plaque was taken down in the 1980s when the Cathedral was renovated. It was missing for over 30 years and just this summer, was relocated. There will be a memorial mass and plaque rededication ceremony on Nov.11, 2018 at 11:30 am for the 100th Anniversary of the Armistice at the church.

The plaque reads as follows:
