About This Memorial
The Edgemont Memorial Park in Montclair, New Jersey features a prominent World War I memorial obelisk created in 1924 by sculptor Charles Keck. The memorial's most striking features are bronze sculptures of Winged Victory atop the obelisk and the Billy Boys at its base, with names of local fallen soldiers etched into the sides. It primarily commemorates those from Montclair who died in World War I, with additional plaques honoring casualties from World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam War. The memorial stands on a small island in the park's artificial pond, making it one of Montclair's most recognizable landmarks.
