The Second Capsule

The cornerstone that was found in the final years of 2014 was put down somewhere in 1915. The placement of this capsule was to jot down the 100-year mark of its foundation. It was kept behind a bronze stone that carried the details related to the monument. The contents that were in this capsule also had the same patriotic theme. Unlike the previous one, this jar wasn’t showing any kind of damage, the reason might be it was just half the time buried than the previous one.
