They Did Not Pass - The Battle Of Verdun Ends I THE GREAT WAR Week 126

100 YEARS AGO

The centennial of America's involvement in the war won't begin until next year. At least if one accepts that our involvement didn't officially begin until war was declared by Congress on April 6, 1917.

In Europe the centennial commemorations began in 2014 and this series is of interest to anyone interested in World War I, or the Great War, as it was once known.

It is especially interesting in that the video series is updated weekly, allowing one to learn more in smaller increments ... something in the manner that the people of Harrison County would have learned about it by reading the Log Cabin or the Democrat.

THE GREAT WAR ON PBS

The "war to end all wars" begins again as a 3-part series on PBS, part of the American Experience series.  To find more about it visit WGBH American Experience: The Great War

I, for one, am going to watch.

Watch for books and DVDs to start hitting the shelves in bookstores, both virtual and brick & mortar.


LOOK FOR WAR REPORTING IN FUTURE ISSUES OF THE HERITAGE HARRISON NEWS

Beginning in the March or April issues of the Harrison Heritage News next year, I will begin a series of my own, to be published in the, in the special supplement to the HHN "The Genealogy Box."

My articles may appear as feature items in the newsletter, or perhaps under a different title under the umbrella of "The Genealogy Box."

Be sure to look for it!
