About The Event
More than 9 million combatants from the belligerent nations died in World War I, the largest number of any conflict in world history to that time. The World Remembers is an international education project whose purpose is to remember and honor these combatants who perished, for each year of the war, by displaying their names in more than 100 locations throughout Europe and North America, for a period of weeks ending with the Western Front Armistice Day of Nov. 11. For 1915, names from 12 nations are represented. Accompanying the names are images of soldiers and civilians caught up in a global conflict. The Museum is serving as the only location in the United States. This moving display is located adjacent to the entrance of the Edward Jones Research Center. The National World War I Museum and Memorial is a sponsoring partner of The World Remembers.
