O. Box 2160, Fort Riley, Kansas 66442 Located Fort Riley, Cavalry Parade field, Sheridan Avenue, Fort Riley, Kansas Remarks:  The memorial honors the United States Cavalry and its role in the settlement of the west. Conceived as a Fort Riley-Junction City memorial as a part of the Kansas Centennial observance, the statue was dedicated June 14, 1961. It was built by Private First Class Richard C. Jonda, Sergeant Clarence L. Holt, First Lieutenant Arthur C. Lee, Jr., and Specialist Fourth Class, Robert L. Greene. It was financed jointly by the Fort Riley Historical Society and Junction City Chamber of Commerce. The figure is patterned after Remington's untitled 1898 sketch of a cavalry trooper dating from the Spanish-American War era. The illustration, known as The Cavalryman or The Trooper and Old Bill, appeared on the cover of the Cavalry Journal from January 1903 to August 1942, and later appeared in Armor Magazine. The subject for Remington's painting was then Corporal Jack Lannon of Troop G, 3d Cavalry.
