Horse Statue
If there is a Horse Statue in the park dedicated to somebody who has died, there is a way of knowing how they died. If the horse has its two front legs in the air with the man of its back, then the man died in the war. If the horse has only one front leg up with the man on his back then the person died of injuries due to a war. But, if the horse has all four legs on the ground with the person on his back, then that person died of natural causes (A statue with nobody on the horse, but it has been dedicated to somebody means the same as if the man is on the horse).

A quick search concludes that this sadly is an urban myth.

True it is a myth..General Sedgewick statue at Gettysburg is on all 4 feet yet he was killed in battle later in the war.
