The sculpture was originally located in France. It was damaged in World War I during the battle at Chateau Thierry in 1918. W. D. Longyear, a resident of Beverly Hills whose son was killed in the same battle, received permission from the French government to bring the sculpture to Beverly Hills. It was installed on Mr. Longyear's estate during a dedication ceremony on Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1925. It has since been donated to the City of Beverly Hills and relocated.
