Naval Academy, U.S. Soldiers And Sailors Monument, [Annapolis, Maryland], 1910. [The French Monument honours the unknown French soldiers and sailors who were buried on the shores of College Creek during the American Revolutionary War. The Battle of the Chesapeake of 1781 was a French naval victory over a British fleet that took place outside Chesapeake Bay off the east coast of what is now the USA. The monument, by sculptor J. Maxwell Miller, was dedicated by President William H. Taft in April 1911. It stands on what is now the campus of Saint John's College, formerly the site of a field hospital on the way to Yorktown].
