World War I Memorial, Bronze war memorial in East Providence, United States
The monument features a 7.75-foot-tall bronze soldier standing on a granite base with reliefs depicting wartime scenes at Taunton Avenue intersection.
Dedicated on July 30, 1927, the memorial received an address from Major General Charles Pelot Summerall discussing military preparedness during World War I.
The statue represents a soldier in a disheveled infantry uniform, reflecting the actual conditions of military service during World War I.
The memorial lists twenty-three names of East Providence citizens who served in World War I on bronze reliefs mounted on its granite base.
Italian sculptor Pietro Montana modeled the soldier after Charles Atlas, but modified the initial design upon request from the East Providence Memorial Committee.
