100 Cities - 100 Memorials

Geolocalisation bp

Memorial Inventory Project:  There is one other existing partial database to consult - The WWI Memorial Inventory Project [CLICK HERE]. It contains some memorials our map doesn't. The listings on this database are fair game for the Memorial Hunters Club. So if you want to search for treasure from your desk - find missing listings here and submit them. Remember though, you will need to come up with pictures and the history of the memorial. You might be able to hunt that down through www.Proquest.com and Google.

This is a life-size bronze relief of the Alma Mater, leaning against an oval-shaped shield and wearing a form-fitting classical garment and armor. The shield bears the image of the college crest and an eagle. It is attached to a limestone stele decorated at the top with a Greek key frieze. It was sculpted by Hans Schuler (1874 1951) and erected in 1920 to honor the 452 students who served in WW I. and the 24 who died in service.

Dedicated in 1937, the World War I St. Mihiel American Cemetery and Memorial, 40.5 acres in extent, contains the graves of 4,153 of our military dead. The majority of these died in the offensive that resulted in the reduction of the St. Mihiel salient that threatened Paris. The burial area is divided by Linden alignment trees and paths into four equal plots. At the center is a large sundial surmounted by an American eagle. To the west is a statue of a World War I soldier and at the eastern end is a semi-circular overlook dominated by a sculpture representing a victory vase. 

Beyond the burial area to the south is the white stone memorial consisting of a small chapel, a peristyle with a large rose-granite funeral urn at its center, and a map building. The chapel contains a beautiful mosaic portraying an angel sheathing his sword. On two walls of the museum are recorded the names of 284 of the missing. Rosettes mark the names of those since recovered and identified. On the wall facing the door is a large map of inlaid marble depicting the St. Mihiel Offensive.

US-1, John Paul Jones Memorial Park
03904 Kittery
ME
USA

This monument was put forth by the State Legislature in 1919 as part of the plan for the Memorial Bridge connecting Kittery with Portsmouth, New Hampshire (dedicated in 1923). Governor Percival Baxter appointed a memorial commission in 1923. Russian Jewish sculptor, Bashka Paeff (raised in Boston), was awarded the commission to design the monument. The monument, featuring a woman holding a young child, was controversial at the time--considered too pacifist. Titled "The Sacrifices of War." The monument was dedicated on Armistice Day in 1924--the sculpture was dedicated on Memorial Day in 1926, and the Memorial was re-dedicated in 2000, when Angus King was Governor, after renovations had been made. The initial monument included a time capsule, replaced in 2000.

The University of New Hampshire Memorial Union Building is the New Hampshire's official state war memorial. Located on the third floor of the MUB, the Memorial Room reflects that distinction and honors all New Hampshire residents who perished while in military action from World War I through present day. Funds to create this building as a war memorial came from alumni, the state, businesses and civic groups. In 1953, when Governor Hugh Gregg signed the proclamation declaring the UNH Memorial Union as the State's official war memorial (prior to building construction that was completed in 1957), he wrote that it was "desirable that as many youth of the state as possible should know and revere the courage and the sacrifice of New Hampshire men and women who served their country." Gregg and the many community members who worked to create this building wanted it to be a place to prompt discussion and thought, a place for quiet reflection, and a place of inspiration. By placing this building and this room in the state's Land Grant University, it was hoped that generations of students to come would be inspired to have these discussions.

Seward County Courthouse, 529 Seward St
68434 Seward
NE
USA

On the grounds of the Seward County Courthouse is a statue erected on June 25, 1924, by the Ben Harrison Chapter of the DAR and Post Three of the G.A.R. to honor the local veterans of the Civil War. It is a standing soldier with a gun on his shoulder, atop an obelisk ded­icated to the veterans of Gettysburg, Shiloh and Antietam. The head was originally larger, as it was intended to have been placed on a building dome and seen from a long distance. It was sculpted by Fred Kimball and dedicated on July 23, 1924. On July 4, 1973, the Seward Jaycees added a plaque to each corner of the cement curbing around the statue to honor the men who fought in WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam.
