This monument was originally dedicated on November 11, 1925 to the Hobart soldiers who died in World War I. I don't know when the first photograph was taken, but to my mind the caption ("World War Monument") suggests it was before World War II.
The monument was rededicated in 2002 and now honors the soldiers Hobart lost in both World Wars, Korea and Vietnam.
