Statue of Angel of Victory
This is two minutes from my house. In her right hand she is holding aloft a laurel wreath, whilst in her right arm is a flagpole with the flag draped over her arm. She stands on a granite block on stepped sandstone base, behind iron railings.
The main pedestal bears the dedication on the front, with a bronze laurel wreath attached at the top. The names are listed in a single column on each of the remaining three faces.

They died that we might live
"Lest we forget"
Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die - Herbert Hoover
