Did you know that a statue in a park with a soldier on a horse with its 2 feet in the air means that soldier died in combat. If the horse has only 1 foot in the air, the soldier died of injuries from combat. If the horse has all 4 feet on the ground, the soldier died of natural causes.

It’s an interesting idea, but is actually an urban myth.

Interesting to note that there is more to it than it seems.
Thanks for the update, Jimmy.
