Art of Bronze is honored to present this powerful life-size bronze memorial statue—The Fallen Soldier Battle Cross—crafted as a timeless tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

This particular sculpture represents the Vietnam War era and has been designed with a profound level of historical accuracy and reverence. The composition features:

A highly detailed M1 combat helmet, affectionately known as “the steel pot,” complete with surface texture that reflect the authenticity of the time.

An M16A1 rifle with a 20-round magazine, carefully positioned muzzle-down, symbolizing a soldier’s final march and the end of combat.

A pair of Vietnam-style jungle boots, which serve as the base of the sculpture. These boots can be displayed with flexibility—either pointed straight out or angled at 45 degrees—allowing customization to suit your display preference.

Each component has been masterfully cast using the lost-wax bronze process, resulting in exceptional detail, durability, and a finish capable of withstanding outdoor elements for generations.

Whether placed in a veterans memorial park, civic plaza, military base, school campus, or private collection, this sculpture evokes deep reflection and solemn gratitude.  It stands not only as a marker of loss, but also as a lasting reminder of courage, sacrifice, and honor.

Custom plaques and installation options are available upon request.

Also known as the Battlefield Cross or Battle Cross, this symbolic arrangement dates back to the American Civil War.  Originally used as a temporary battlefield marker to honor fallen comrades before their bodies could be retrieved, it has evolved into a poignant and enduring symbol of remembrance, respect, and mourning.
