The statue of THE SCOUT portrays the typical World War II and Korean War era Staff Sergeant attired in full battle gear of the time. He is seen here carrying a .45 caliber Thompson sub-machine gun that used the same ammunition as his sidearm, a 1911 A1 Automatic Colt Pistol. Spare ammunition clips are stored in one of his back pouches. He is carrying a hand grenade, a trench knife, and a(n en)trenching tool. THE SCOUT was created in 2000 by Robert J. Eccleston, working at Cloudsplitter Studios, and was cast at the Tallix Foundry.
