New Britain dedicated this World War I monument to the city’s sons who gave their lives to their country, declaring that their names were inscribed there and their memory lived in the heart of a grateful city. The city recorded with pride that more than four thousand of its citizens served in the World War of 1917 and 1918, and it listed those who died while serving in the Army, Navy, Naval Reserve Force, Marine Corps, Air Service, American Expeditionary Forces, Connecticut National Guard, Polish Legion, and R.A.F., in places including France, England, Cyprus, camps and hospitals across the United States, and at sea.
