World War One Remembered in Glen Rock

Fresh off the streets from parading in Hawthorne, our Great War commanding officer was joined by Tony S. who represented a German officer for a historical presentation at the Annex in Glen Rock.  The "Glen Rockin' Seniors" listened to a talk that ran just over an hour on the causes of the First World War, how the men at the front and women in support roles lived, and some aspects of the nature of the combat conditions themselves.  Hand-outs were passed around the audience, including reproduction newspapers, a National Registration Act identification booklet, a pamphlet on food economy, and more.  The end of the talk had a question and answer period followed by pictures.  We were introduced to two members of the Daughters of the British Empire who came to visit and enjoyed speaking with them.  We thank First Light Home Care and Daria Boyd for having us and for the opportunity to continue our historical public outreach.
