SOLDIERS' MONUMENT Dedicated November 11, 1921
THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT. SUPPLE SQUARE.
In June, 1911, Charles Caruso obtained a permit to erect a monument on Supple Square, but owing to the lack of in- terest at that time, was constrained to defer the project.
During this past year, a committee of young Italians was selected, who elected Charles Caruso as chairman, Louis A. Marino, treasurer, and Alfred B. Caruso, secretary. In Octo- ber plans were completed, and two entertainments were given at the Opera House for raising money, as a start to the drive. Then all attention was given to popular subscription, which in the following month grew to such proportions that the dream of the promoter of this project, Charles Caruso, was realized.
Our neighbors, in Hopedale, gave liberally, and the public in Milford responded heartily.
Aided by the ready permits, issued by the Honorable Board, and the steady work of the committee, Chairman Ca- ruso and the committee were very happy for the opportunity to present to the town, a stately shaft of Milford and Wester- ly granite, constructed and carved by Monti & Rossi of this town.
The statue is of the best blue-white Westerly, R, I., granite. The plynth, die and three bases are of Milford light pink granite, taken from the William M. Sherman quarry.
On the front surface of the plynth is carved a palm, as a symbol of martyrs. The die is polished on all sides and on its front bears the inscription "TO OUR HEROES OF THE WORLD WAR, 1917-1918," and below this are carved the
52
names of the boys who made the supreme sacrifice in the World War, as follows :
John C. Ardolino,
Charles L. Fuller,
Karick Aseganian,
Michael J. Fizgerald, Jr.,
George A. Bagley,
Shahin Garmagian,
Philip Callery,
Herbert G. Innis,
Albert Corran,
Henry A. Julian,
Matthew Calzone,
Granville R. Jones,
William P. Durkin,
Joseph Luchini,
John Dictabrook,
Louis Mazzuchelli,
Oliver L Drew,
Patrick J. Nelligan,
Frank Esmond,
John W. Powers,
William Quirk.
Of the three bases, the upper two are finely hammered and the lower one is rock-face. The monument is 6 feet, two inches square at the base, and stands 17 feet.
The beautifully carved statue, represents a typical Dough- boy just returning victorious from battle, carrying a German helmet in his left hand, and in his right he has a regulation Army rifle. The whole figure stands erect in a peaceful but determined pose.
A sunny and pleasant November 11th, 1921, marked the day of the Dedication and parade. At 1 o'clock the plans of the committee were brought to happy fruition when the great parade formed on East Main street, corner of Cedar, and started its march along the designated route, which was well decorated with flag's and bunting on the stores and business blocks, and in many cases on houses. The parade terminated at the monument, where a simple, though impressive dedica- tion was held, Town Solicitor Alfred B. Cenedella, presiding.
Chairman Cenedella, after appropriate remarks as to the great events of the day, gave signal for Master Philip Callery, son of a dead hero, to unveil the statue that had been draped in a United States flig, and the son of his bero soldier did his purt well.
Then followed the introduction of speakers, including Commander George A. Barry, of the American Legion, Town
53
Treasurer John E Swift, Atty. Saverio Romano of Boston, and the orator of the day, Gen. Charles H. Cole.
Mr. Cenedella presented the monument to the town, rep- resenting the committee, and Chairman John H. Egan, of the Board of Selectmen, accepted the"same, with appropriate re- marks.
Then came a salute by the firing squad of the Powers Post, A. L, and taps sounded by the Post band buglers.
The committee and its officers, feel justly satisfied that they have supplied Milford with a magnificent supplement to its adornment, and a welcome addition to its art treasures.
