Hamilton Fish, who served as commander of Company K, 369th Infantry Regiment during the war, nicknamed the “Harlem Hellfighters,” an all-black unit of the New York National Guard, was instrumental in creating the memorial. Fish introduced a federal resolution in December 1920 as a U.S. Congressman to create the Unknown Soldier memorial. Courtesy photo.
