    Remarks: 
    Commissioned by the Galbraith Memorial Committee. Colonel Frederick W. Galbraith was the commanding officer of the First Regiment of the Ohio National Guard, the 147th Infantry during World War I, and one of the founders of the American Legion. He was chosen the first National Commander of the Legion in 1921. New York architect William Dwiggins designed the memorial and Cincinnati architect James Stewart supervised its construction. The bronze relief was created by Cincinnati sculptor Clement Barnhorn.
