The memorial originally consisted of the central sculpture flanked by two drinking fountains. The female figure is called "Memory." A young woman from Indianapolis, Indiana was the model for the figure. The memorial was dedicated as a part of Armistice Day ceremonies, November 11, 1930. The figure's head was taken by vandals around 1990.
