3. Battle Cross Monument added to Montgomery County VVA memorial.
The Battle Cross is a memorial for those killed in combat. It is made up of the soldier's rifle with bayonet attached stuck into the ground with the soldier's boots on each side of the rifle and a helmet on top. Dog tags are sometimes placed on the rifle as means of identification. It still serves as a method of mourning among the living as attending the funeral is not always possible for soldiers still in combat.
