Victory
The Republic of China gifted this iconic statue to America's World war I Unknown. It accompanied the Unknown as he lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda and during his funeral service in the Memorial Amphitheater on November 11, 1921.
Augustus Saint-Gaudens (1848-1907), a famous American sculptor, designed the statue as part of the William Tecumseh Sherman monument, dedicated on May 30, 1903 in New York City. This version was created from a smaller mold than the life size example in New York. |
