Monument for 151st Battalion to rise in Macon
The 151st Machine Gun Battalion memorial will be a white granite shaft with bronze tablets and two gunner figures. Designed by Capt. Sidney Brown, it may be built on Coleman's Hill to overlook the business district. Funds raised by the battalion and its women’s auxiliary total about 8500 dollars with a target near 9000. Construction starts soon with a possible Armistice Day dedication. A petition seeks city approval for the hill site. An Americus firm won the contract for 8175 dollars. The Times-Recorder offers a reward for a lost black kid slipper found after a incident near Montezuma to Americus.
