Niños Héroes (1)


Source: WTL photograph taken in Chapultepec Park, Mexico City.
Comments: Here is a statue of one of the heroic boy cadets. At first the bodies of the six boys were buried in the Chapultepec Park in unmarked graves. However, their remains were found and identified in 1947, and, in 1952, they were re-buried at the Monument to the Heroic Cadets (see: => Niños Héroes #5).
