I am researching Edgar I. Williams’ World War I Monument to further its restoration and preservation. This is an important sculpture / monument and is a masterwork of this renowned architect. It is located just a few blocks from where the architect lived all his life in Rutherford, NJ. The monument is extremely unique for its setting, use of cast granite, the architectural expression of Neo-Classical, American Renaissance architecture, electrical illumination and molded glass flame apex. I believe Mr. Williams was directly influenced in this work by his education at AAR and was inspired by the direct study of the Columns of Trajan and Marcus Aurelius. I would appreciate any information and comments to extend my research.

Have they tested for radioactivity? That should be done with the big lead coffins always. The “vampire” zone of central Europe and the holy rocks (used in curing skin cancers for instance) was known to the ancients.
