And in each simple wreck in the way-path of might Shall yet be a rock in the temple of right.

Title A name given to the resource To The Perpetual Memory (New Cumberland, West Virginia) Type The nature or genre of the resource Site Description An account of the resource This monument features at its apex a Union soldier holding the barrel of a rifle (which is pointed downwards) with both hands. The soldier stands upon a pedestal accented with swag-drapery and two ribboned laurel crowns hanging on either side, under which is engraved the name ‘W.A. Atkinson’. In the centre of the pedestal’s front panel is a large engraving of the Grand Army of the Republic badge, worn by the members of the Union Army Veterans’ organisation. The design of the badge consists of three parts; first, an eagle with its wings spread holding a sword in its talons above two cannons and nine stacked cannonballs. Second, an American flag-style ribbon draped beneath the eagle and cannons. Lastly, the G.A.R. medal in the shape of a fine-pointed star depicting the goddess of liberty, a soldier and a sailor clasping hands, with two children kneeling below them. In the star points are the emblems for different branches of service: an anchor for sailors, a bugle for infantry, swords for cavalry, cannons for artillery and muskets for marines. The base of the pedestal is marked ‘Post No. 18 Dep’t W. VA.’ The tier below the pedestal is a structure with a roof-top pediment marked ‘Appomattox’, supposedly in reference to the 1865 Appomattox Court House Battle. In a recessed panel beneath the pediment, a bronze plaque engraved with the text ‘Yet Loved Ones Have Fallen…’. Finally, at the base of the tier is the inscription dedicated to the ‘Perpetual Memory Of The Defenders Of The Union, 1861 - 1865.
