One of the many soldiers who have their
hobbies is W. Frank Gaul, a delegate from
the Department of New Jersey. He has de-
signed, and would like to see erected, a
unique Grand Army monument. He has
taken the Grand Army badge as the main
feature, and from each OF the points is to
radiate a scene from actual warfare. The
base and shaft he would have OF granite,
and the figures life-size and of bronze.
The crowning piece is to be OF bronze, and
OF heroic size, representing Union and
rebel trooper fighting for the standard
and the Union trooper coming on victori-
Gus. An interesting feature would be to
have the bronze work made from cannons
captured from the enemy. There is an
abundance of these throughout the coun-
try, and it would seem that quite hand
some monument could be erected.
