The World War I Memorial designed by Montana is “historically significant as the city’s principal effort to honor those who served in the first World War and because it is an unusually successful depiction of the soldier in battle.”[3] The larger-than-life masculine figure depicted in the sculpture stands apart from the stock figures of other war monuments by its dynamic pose, as if the soldier was “[arising from] the heat of battle”.
