To: Advocates for Harvard ROTC Subject: World War I - Harvard alumni veterans Medal of Honor Legion d’Honneur Distinguished Service Order Distinguished Service Cross Navy Cross The President, in the name of Congress, awards the Medal of Honor to the individual who, while as an active member of the US Armed Forces distinguishes himself or herself conspicuously, at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty, by courage and intrepidity. The act or acts of heroism must have required a risk of life and the individual have displayed personal bravery or self-sacrifice so extraordinary as to set the individual apart from his or her comrades. The 2nd highest US military decorations for valor have a different name and date of origination by service. For the US Army, this award is called the Distinguished Service Cross and was established by the US congress in 1918. The equivalent award for the Navy and US Marine Corps is the Navy Cross, which was first awarded in 1917 and formally approved by the US congress in 1931 (note: the Navy Cross may also be awarded to deserving US Coast Guard personnel during a formal war when the USCG is operating as part of the USN). The Air Force Cross was established by the US congress in 1960 (note: previously deserving personnel in the US Army Aero Squadrons of the Signal Corps (WW I), US Army Air Corps (1920’s to 1947) or US Air Force (1947 to 1960) were awarded the Distinguished Service Cross).

Cohan’s 1917 song, Over There, aroused the patriotic fervor of a country marching off to fight in World War One. Separated by thousands of miles, the only thing that connected families to the boys over there were the letters they wrote back and forth to each other. “Californians Over There: California’s Role in World War One” is a museum exhibit that features the letters of doughboy Edward Bates to his family. The exhibit also highlights the experiences of another Californian, Colonel Nelson M. Holderman, who was a member of the “Lost Battalion” that survived six days surrounded by the Germans. This paper details the planning and fabrication process of creating the Californians Over There exhibit, which was on display from June 14, 2011 to June 1, 2012 at the California State Capitol Museum in Sacramento, California.

Pierce Museum Educator Ontario County Historical Society Canandaigua, NY November 11, 2018 Copyright © 2018 Ontario County Historical Society All rights reserved ISBN 0-941198-49-9 Jan. 28, 2019 Printing. Front Cover: This large bronze tablet is affixed to the first floor front foyer of the Ontario County Court House. It contains the list, town by town, of local residents who died during World War I. In the years since it was put up (1923) a few more names have been identified. Much of the information for this tablet was collected by the Ontario County Historical Society and by the Town Historians, authorized by the state legislature in 1919 with the specific mission of collecting and preserving war information. World War I veteran, Bert Crowe, and his daughter, Regina Crowe, at the American Legion/VFW post monument in Rushville Village Cemetery. Daily Messenger. Jun. 29, 1983. CONTENTS The stories of the veterans included in this collection appear in no particular order. That was done deliberately to emphasize that all of the stories contribute to our understanding of the experience of World War I and how it impacted these veterans, their comrades, and the generations that followed them without any regard to a pre-determined order. The only exception is that the last three surviving veterans, all of whom died in 1996, are placed last to emphasize the fact that they were the final county survivors.

He moved them north through the Meuse Valley with the Argonne Forest to their left and the Air Valley to their right, and was ready to attack with three corps the morning of 26 Sep. Foch’s intent was to create a pincers movement to cut off the Germans in their rear. British troops would advance between Péronne and Lens toward Aulnoye, while the Americans would attack toward Mézières. Aulnoye and Mézières were rail and supply centers in the German rear area, and the loss of either would seriously disrupt their operations. Simultaneously, the Belgian-French-British force in Flanders would attack, as would French troops in the Oise-Aisne region. Facing the Allies, the Germans formed three heavily-fortified lines in two sectors, Army Groups under the command of von Gallwitz and the Meuse-Argonne p.2 Crown Prince, respectively.
