The World War I Monument is an outdoor memorial commemorating veterans of World War I (including nearly 200,000 Texans), installed on the Texas State Capitol grounds in Austin, Texas, United States. The Texas Sunset Red Granite monument, designed by an unknown artist, was erected by members of the Department of Texas, Veterans of Foreign Wars in 1961. It lists the barracks and auxiliaries that worked to create the memorial.[1]
