 SAINT THOMAS TOUR 2 - The World War I Memorial |
||
 |
|
Created according to Mr. Goodhue's conception, the World War I Memorial was created by Lee Lawrie. At the top, the Archangel Michael drives his lance into the dragon (Satan, war, evil). Below is an exceptionally strong relief of American soldiers going from America, represented by St. Thomas Church on the left, to France, represented by Rheims Cathedral on the right. The names cut into the wall below are of those members of the parish who served in the war. The names in gold are those who lost their lives. The colored shields on the stone are of the branches of the armed services and those on the door are of the Allied Nations. |
Now go down the center aisle to the foot of the Chancel steps....
