107th Regiment Monument
The World War I service of New York’s 107th infantry regiment
is honored with a large bronze sculpture
in
Central Park.
The 107th Regiment Monument,
dedicated in 1927,
features seven soldiers,
in a variety of poses,
on a large granite base.
Three soldiers in the middle are charging,
the soldier on the far right
(as you face the monument)
is preparing to throw hand grenades,
and
the second soldier from the left
is
supporting a badly wounded comrade.
The east face of the monument’s base bears an inscription reading:
“Seventh Regiment New York,
One Hundred and Seventh United States Infantry,
in memoriam,
1917-1918.”
One Hundred and Seventh United States Infantry,
in memoriam,
1917-1918.”
Today,
Veteran's Day,

all
who serve
to protect us
