A Civil War Memorial stands in downtown Webster, Massachusetts in front of the town hall as one part of a series of war monuments called Honor Court. This memorial was dedicated in 1907 and consists of a central tower with a bronze statue of a soldier on top. Four other bronze statues of soldiers stand at each of the four corners: an infantryman, artilleryman, cavalryman, and sailor.[1]
Each bronze soldier statue was created in 125% scale from real life.
On October 11, 1906 the contract for this memorial was awarded to J.W. White & Sons of Quincy.[2]
