100 Cities - 100 Memorials

Geolocalisation bp

Memorial Inventory Project:  There is one other existing partial database to consult - The WWI Memorial Inventory Project [CLICK HERE]. It contains some memorials our map doesn't. The listings on this database are fair game for the Memorial Hunters Club. So if you want to search for treasure from your desk - find missing listings here and submit them. Remember though, you will need to come up with pictures and the history of the memorial. You might be able to hunt that down through www.Proquest.com and Google.

Second Lt. and Aviator Greayer Clover is memorialized throughout LA County. In East Los Angeles, right around where Figueroa meets Marmion Way, a tiny little speck of green exists. This is Greayer's Oak Park. On Arbor Day 1919 some of Clover's friends planted a live oak tree there in his honor. In addition was a bronze plaque at the base of the new sapling that read: "Planted Arbor Day, 1919, in memory of Lieut. Greayer Clover, who fell 'somewhere in France,' Aug. 30, 1918.” Though there are about half a dozen oaks there today, I could not determine if any were the original. The plaque is long gone, so I suspect not. Nonetheless the park still owes "Grubby" Clover its name.
