memorial arch
Tribute in stone
A memorial arch is a large freestanding archway built to commemorate a person, event, or victory.
Unlike triumphal arches, which celebrate military conquests, memorial arches may honor any significant subject—war dead, founding figures, or historical milestones.
The memorial arch at the cemetery entrance honors fallen soldiers.
