Book excerpt: Excerpt from Regulations for the National Military Parks: And the Statutes Under Which They Were Organised and Are Administered; 1914 They must be based upon and conform to the official reports of the campaign or battle as contained in the records of the War Department and must be submitted through the chairman of the park commission to the Secretary of War for his approval before being adopted or placed within the park. Monuments, tablets, or other memorials erected in honor of individuals may have placed thereon in each case an additional and separate inscription containing the dates of birth and death and a brief statement of the military history of the individual commemorated, to be located in such position as to avoid confusion with the main inscription relating to the individual's participation in the campaign or battle, such additional inscription to be in accordance with the official records and subject to the approval of the Secretary of War. Hereafter inscriptions upon monuments, tablets, or other memorials shall not contain any reference to or description of the donors. 4. The location proposed for each monument, marker, or other permanent memorial in any park shall be submitted to the Secretary of War, through the park commissioners, for his approval. No such memorial shall be erected until the approval of its location shall have been obtained. 5. Regimental monuments shall be placed on brigade lines on ground where the regiments did notable fighting. If, however, a regiment became separated from its own brigade and distinguished itself particularly, while alone or attached to another brigade, its monument may be so placed as to show that fact. Memorial monuments erected by the States must be located on the ground upon which some of the troops of the State erecting the monuments were engaged. Where troops fought outside the limits of the park their monuments may be placed at such points within the park as the commissioners of the park may designate. 6. Brigades, divisions, and corps may be designated, in inscriptions, by their numbers where that method was used, or by the names of their respective commanders, or by both. 7. No monument, marker, or tablet shall be moved, changed, cleaned, or repaired in any park except by the commission of said park or under its special authority in writing. 8. Contractors for the erection of monuments in any of the national military parks shall notify the park engineer or superintendent of the time when and place where they propose to begin work, and will receive from him a written permit specifying the monuments to be erected. After the completion of the work the contractors must clear the ground of all rubbish which they may have accumulated and leave it in as good condition as at the commencement of the work.
