One of the soldiers has fallen and supports himself on his left arm, while grasping a piece of the flag staff in his right hand. A young private holds the flag high while stepping over the dying soldier. An officer with a pistol in one hand and a drawn sword in the other continues forward, while another private leans forward holding a bayonet. There are various inscriptions on the work. The front of the base reads: ''TO. THOSE. WHO. FOUGHT. IN. THE. WAR. FOR. THE. UNION. 1861-1865 ERECTED.1898''. The front lower left side of the sculpture reads ''JOHN S. CONWAY SCULPTOR'' and the back lower right reads ''FOND CRESCENZI ROMA 1898''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Soldier's Monument, (sculpture). )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Victorious Charge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
