Artist Joseph Nicolosi created the bas relief for the WWI cenotaph, (empty tomb) memorial on South Street in front of the Vail mansion. It was commissioned by the city to honor the Morristown men who died in WWI, and was dedicated in 1928, on the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice. The monument and its setting was designed by John R. Brinley, a Morristown resident and landscape architect.
