Monument 1
Inscription
On this spot, the Back Alley Brawler formed his Super Group, the Regulators, in August of 1972.

This was the site of one of the Regulators' first major victories in their War on Drugs. Led by the Back Alley Brawler, the Regulators surprised a group of thugs who were dealing in heavy narcotics.

Inscription
On this site, the Regulators and the Dawn Patrol first came together, joining forces to bring the Back Alley Brawler's War on Drugs to a conclusion.
