91st Division Memorial - 1930

91st Division Memorial - 1930

$0.00Price
This large six-figure statue created by sculptor, Avard T. Fairbanks,  it was created in 1929 and dedicated at Fort Lewis, Washington, on May 30, 1930. 
 
This would be his second World War I commemorative statue.  He had already created a major monument to World War I entitled “The Victorious American Soldier,” or “Doughboy.” 
 
This monument includes six figures in front of a massive stone pylon backdrop.  There is a central cylinder pedestal supporting a full-figure medieval crusader knight, complete with chainmail beneath a bacinet helmet and holding an uplifted sword suggesting victory.  Around the top of the cylinder there is lettering that reads, “The Truth Shall Prevail.”  In front of the Crusader at the base of the monument is a Nurse attending to the needs of a dying soldier.  Behind her is a Medical Corpman assisting. 
 
On either side are two determined World War I Soldiers as sentries who are in complete World War I uniforms with helmets and gas masks, while holding bayonetted Springfield rifles to the side of them.  The 91st Division from Fort Lewis, Washington, was famous for their part in the 1918 Meuse-Argonne offensive.  It was called the “Wild West Division,” as it was comprised of soldiers from the western states. 

Many famous military figures were present at the dedication.  This is one of the most meaningful, dramatic, and largest statues created by the sculptor.
