Did You Know That There's A Human Statue of Liberty?


Did you know that there’s a human Statue of Liberty? This human Statue of Liberty is composed of 18,000 soldiers that stood up in the afternoon of August 22, 1918. These soldiers came from US Army 163rd Depo Brigade. The picture was taken from a 12 meter tower specially constructed for the event. The soldiers were carefully assembled to the ground at exactly 1:00 PM, all of them wearing black, only few wore white for the outline of the statue. Because of the heat reaching 40 degrees Celsius, 12 out of 18,000 soldiers fainted.
