Legacy Herkimer County Historical Society Crier November/December 2018 HERKIMER COUNTY WORLD WAR I VETERANS BANNER PROJECT World War One was known as the “Great War” or “The War To End All Wars.” It lasted from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918. More than 70 million military personnel were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history. The United States remained neutral for the first 3 years of the war, even though a majority of Americans had sympathies for the Allies. Germany’s use of submarines to sink Allied ships and the U.S. interception of the Zimmerman Telegram which promised German support of Mexico for an invasion of the United States led President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress to declare war on Germany on April 6, 1917. Over 2,000 soldiers, including Army nurses, were involved in the war effort from Herkimer County. In commemoration of this centennial, we featured a new exhibit and oversaw a banner project featuring the photos of 75 Herkimer County soldiers and 2 nurses. We have also included several more soldiers who were submitted to us after the Banner project.
