American sculptor Burt W. Johnson created this memorial in honor of those men from the Clinton district area who served in World War I. Johnson is well known for statues such as this one of doughboys that honor those who served in WWI. Another one of his doughboys is located in Queens. His brother-in-law was the famous sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens.

What a lovely photo! It's great to see his statue still appreciated. Burt was my mother's father.
