I'll do this one, it has been nominated for quite a long time and deserves a close look. Regards, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 02:58, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * You are asking me to provide something that the National Register of Historic Places doesn't even provide OR the book reviewing it as part of the sculpture theme - its not unknown, as you suspect, but it would be a primary document that I would have to obtain from the city itself. No worries, it is not an unreasonable request and I know that such records likely exist - mind you I have found gaps in others. I'll contact the city on Monday.

 * What about local papers? American Legion? Veterans of Foreign Wars? There must be some news coverage of events conducted there, and the dedication. By the way, it is an excellent statute, I've rarely seen one as good, and I see a lot of memorials. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 09:17, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I am looking, wasn't coming up with any online searches, but I figure that something must exist on it. I just didn't find it in the two sources which typically would have it, the last time someone dug up something really obscure at Brown for the Columbus (Providence, Rhode Island) one. Of course, I made a trip to the 1893 World's Fair archives two days back and got some great information and I hope I can get a few contacts to help piece together more history of these NRHP statues. They are pretty rare and poorly documented it seems, but I'll do what I can! ChrisGualtieri (talk) 12:35, 24 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Since it was the city who originally came up with the idea, it probably maintains the memorial. You may find something on http://www.eastprovidenceri.net/ - I have worked on other articles about war memorials and the city meeting notes often discuss plans regarding upkeep, expansion, etc... and may provide more background info. The city's library may be a help, too, with old newspaper articles, etc. that give more information. Good luck!-- CaroleHenson  ( talk ) 06:36, 31 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Going to renomination since nearly a year has passed, but the added background I added abotu Montana's work is best. If anyone has more information I'd be pleased, but given that several leads turned into dead ends. Specifically, being pointed to the NRHP nomination for "more information" being a dead end. Unfortunately even Newspapers.com did not have anything more substantial on this work - the Brooklyn focus (naturally) gave better background that I've since added.
