In December 1918, a monument was erected in honor of the men who trained at Camp Funston during World War I. Between the fall of 1917 and November 1918, approximately 50,000 soldiers received their basic training at the camp. These soldiers formed the 10th, 89th, and part of the 92nd Division. General Leonard Wood, commander of the camp, ordered construction of the stone monument as a remembrance and tribute to their service and sacrifice.
