SUMMARY:World War 1 Exhibit at the Knights of Columbus Museum
LOCATION:388
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nWorld War I, fought from 1914-1918, was the modern world’s first
international conflict. Approximately 11 million soldiers were killed, and
the war's toll including civilian casualties exceeded 20 million. The Unite
d States, by declaration of President Woodrow Wilson, formally entered the
war Apr. 6, 1917. By Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1918, more than 116,000 Americ
ans died as a result of the war. Of these, more than 1,600 were Knights of
Columbus. Both the first and last American military officers to die during
the war were K of C members.\n\nIn addition to Knights who served on the ba

highly successful fundraising drives and providing hospitality to servicem

wn as “huts.”\n\nThe impact of World War I was felt for generations. Method
s of warfare were forever altered. The map of Europe was completely redrawn
at the conclusion of the war, and decisions that followed may be attribute
d to the start of World War II in 1939. No one was unaffected during this t
ime period.\n\nThe Knights of Columbus Museum commemorates the 100th annive
rsary of the United States’ participation in the war with an exhibition, Wo

World War I, fought fro
m 1914-1918, was the modern world’s first international conflict. Approxima
tely 11 million soldiers were killed, and the war's toll including civilian
casualties exceeded 20 million. The United States, by declaration of Presi
dent Woodrow Wilson, formally entered the war Apr. 6, 1917. By Armistice Da
y, Nov. 11, 1918, more than 116,000 Americans died as a result of the war.
Of these, more than 1,600 were Knights of Columbus. Both the first and last
American military officers to die during the war were K of C members.
In addition to Knights who served on the battlefield as soldiers, th
e Order was active in war relief efforts, managing highly successful fundra
ising drives and providing hospitality to servicemen in America and abroad
through Knights of Columbus recreation centers known as “huts.”
The impact of World War I was felt for generations. Methods of warfare were
forever altered. The map of Europe was completely redrawn at the conclusio
n of the war, and decisions that followed may be attributed to the start of
World War II in 1939. No one was unaffected during this time period.
The Knights of Columbus Museum commemorates the 100th anniversary of
the United States’ participation in the war with an exhibition, World War I: Beyond the Front Lines (
Apr. 6, 2017-Dec. 30, 2018). The exhibition provides an historical retrospe
ctive of the war and includes interactives, images and artifacts from the K
nights of Columbus Museum collection, Supreme Council archives and borrowed
materials from private lenders and organizations. A series of WWI-related
lectures and presentations will be offered throughout the course of the exh
ibition.
