In a Shady Meadow Green: American Memorials to WWI

Online

In a Shady Meadow Green: American Memorials to WWI uses primary sources and images from the American Battle Monuments Commission and National WWI Museum and Memorial to explore how Americans - individuals, communities and the nation - honored those lost in the Great War. It invites reflection on a timeless question: What is the purpose of a memorial?

They were mortal, but they were unconquerable.
