1. 10th Mountain Division Memorial

Inscription.
Dedicated by the New England Chapter of the 10th Mountain Division in memory of comrades who gave their lives in The Aleutians and Italy in WWII.

This elite division of alpine troops spearheaded the victorious Fifth Army against the mountainous Gothic Line fortresses and across the Po Valley to shatter the German defenses in Northern Italy.

It was their love of New England Mountains, coupled with their dedication of human freedom, that inspired hundreds of young New England Patriots to join the 10th Mountain Division. Many returned to their beloved mountains. Those heroes who did not return are still fondly remembered as brave men whose souls rest forever amid these mountain peaks -- Sempre Avanti

Erected by New England Chapter of The National Association of the 10th Mountain Division.
