In the fall of 1919 General Charles Summerall approached the Commission of Fine Arts in Washington, DC with an idea to erect a monument to those members of the First Division of the American Expeditionary Force who had lost their lives in WWI. The Commission and General Summerall decided on Cass Gilbert to work as the architect for the memorial, and he chose Daniel Chester French to execute the statue that would adorn the pillar. The winged figure of Victory, holding a flag in her right hand and extending a blessing to the dead with her left, was a compelling symbol of the sacrifice made by those who had not come back from Flanders fields.This model was cast for one of the Huntington Museum of Art
