Directly across Across the street from Union Station on the south side of Pershing Road is Dedication Wall containing the busts of the 5 Allied generals of WWI. These busts are located on the exact spot where the main Allied military leaders spoke to a crowd of close to 200,000 people November 1, 1921. It was the only time in history that these leaders were together at one place. In attendance were Lieutenant General Baron Jacques of Belgium; General Armando Diaz of Italy; Marshal Ferdinand Foch of France; General John J. Pershing of the United States; and Admiral David Beatty of Great Britain.
