Synopsis
Excerpt from Andover, Massachusetts, in the World War
Of the activities to which Mr. Eames referred, only a brief mention can be made in this preliminary summary. On Memorial Day, 1917, the town paid special honor to the veterans of the Civil War, who, more than half a century be fore, had represented Andover in another conflict. For the first time the Home Guard appeared in public review, the comment aroused by their marching being most favorable. In the Town Hall Dr. Claude M. Fuess delivered the oration, laying stress on the inspiration to be drawn from the notable example set by the soldiers of 1861. On June 14, under the auspices Of the Woman's Relief Corps, Flag Day was appropriately Observed, with an eloquent address by the Honorable John N. Cole. The Phillips Academy Commencement, always attended by many townspeople, was marked by the proud announcement Of Principal Stearns that an Andover Ambulance Unit was already overseas. On this occasion, too, a tall flagstaff was raised on the historic training field, where, a century and a half ago, the Andover militia were accustomed to drill, and where General George Washington, sitting on horseback, was welcomed in 1789 by the citizens Of the town.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates how a close-knit community in the heart of New England navigated the complexities of World War I.

The book not only gives an insight into what life was like for Americans but also gives a first-hand account of the ways in which the war influenced public life and patriotic sentiment.

This is an exceptional account of a transformative period in American history, demonstrating the subtleties of human behavior and its capacity for both great evil and great good.
