Featured Could this be important? Please & Thank you :)

I want to throw this up here before I go out to dinner. It's wrinkly I apologize. Just found it rolled up within an old poster in a tube. Interesting, should I keep?

 

It looks like the cemeteries in northern France and Belgium. We have visited Flanders Field in Ypres, Belgium several times. Our son was there with our youth group in April These are the anniversary years for WWI.

The Menin Gate in Ypres has the names of 40,000 British Commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives in the war. They hold a memorial service every single evening at sundown. They have done this since the war ended except for the two years they were occupied during WWII. Our son was honored to be able to lay a wreath when they visited this year.

 

Do you think I should frame this piece? Keep it safe?

 

That's really hard to say, hemster. Is there a family member on the list?

 

It came from the estate, but they were Military so I'll look. Thank you

 

Was the estate in New Jersey? It appears that the organization referenced in the logo - 114th Infantry Association - was there. The 114th Infantry was a unit of the NJ National Guard, mobilized into Federal Service for WWI and demobbed in 1919. Reappeared for WWII. I found a Google book about "important gentlemen" in NJ which mentioned that one subject was (among many other things) finance officer of the 114th Infantry Association. Seemed to be a mid-century or so publication.

 

Yes. Here in NJ. There is documents I've found from the War Dept. dated 1918, I'll gather them together and see what I can do with them. Thank you!

 

In that case, putting together a "lot" of those related items and this "poster" might do the trick.

 

I'm on it

 

Let us know how it works out!

 

I will!
