Winnetka Village Cenotaph

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

The Winnetka Village Green, bound by Elm, Oak, Cedar, and Maple Streets, is the site of the Winnetka War Memorial, or Cenotaph. In 1926 the Winnetka Memorial Trustees, a group of Winnetka citizens, commissioned Winnetka architect Samuel Otis to design a war memorial to remember the 10 young men lost in "The Great War". The Village Council approved the request on January 18, 1927, and the Cenotaph was completed in 1928.

While searching in the Boston Globe newspaper archives on that newspapers internet archive, I found a story from the newspaper published on 20 September 1920 which mentions the unveiling of a memorial on the lawn of a state building in Wintrop, Massachusetts. The memorial was raised by the Special Aid Society for American Preparedness and was placed in front of the Edward B Newton School.

This memorial is composed of a concrete star, a sundial, and a metal plaque (unfortunately, the style of the sundial is missing).  On the sundial is written: "Grow old with me, the best is yet to be".

The plaque below the sundial reads: "In memory of Frank Vivian Laughton, James Leslie Paull, William L. Weber, Jr. Graduates of the Wisconsin Mining School who had served with honor during the World War 1914-1918 and gave their lives that liberty might not perish."

This is a 15 foot tall granite stele dedicated in June of 1926 in memory of the residents of Woburn who died, and those who served, in WWI. On the stele is the image of an allegorical female Liberty, with a torch in one raised hand and a flag in the other. On each side are granite tablets depicting a soldier and a sailor in profile, holding rifles. A bronze eagle is on top, with wings spread and perched on a bronze globe.

Burt W. Johnson sculpted this life-size bronze male soldier with a bandaged and bowed head, with both hands clasping the barrel of his rifle and his helmet. It was erected in 1923 as a tribute to the vet­erans of WWI.

Women of Iowa World War I Memorial

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

The Women of Iowa World War I Memorial, also known as The Women in White Memorial,  is dedicated to all Iowa women who served and died during Iowa’s participation in World War I.  It is located on the campus of the Iowa State Capitol.  On May 31, 1921, a simple grove of birch trees was planted on the Iowa Capitol Campus to commemorate the lives of Iowa women who gave their lives in the service of our country during World War I. Over time, some of those trees perished and the memory of that grove vanished. For the World War I centennial, this memorial was established to recreate and rededicate a site on the Capitol grounds to insure that the sacrifices of these women will never be forgotten again. 

"In Honor of the Men and Women of Middletown who Served in the World War and in Memory of Those who Gave Their Lives for this Great Cause 1917-1919"

This war memorial, the largest in Broken Arrow's Veteran's Park, honors American women's contributions on the battlefield and the homefront from the Revolution to the present day. Pictured in the monument's WW1 section are ordinance workers, American Red Cross workers, "farmerettes" with tractors, and women making flags.

Yellowstone County, Montana, commemorated the honorable WWI military service of twenty-three women with ties to the county. That means they were either born in the county, entered federal military service from the county, or are buried in the county. Memorial is the first of its kind in the county and probably in Montana. Memorial dedicated April 6, 2017, in public ceremony. Disabled American Veterans, Billings Chapter, provided the memorial and conducted the public ceremony. Memorial is the work of a local war veteran and historian, Edward E. "Ed" Saunders, who spent over 5 years researching and finding these women. The Billings Gazette newspaper covered the event and printed a front page story in the Gazette’s April 7, 2017, edition.

Erected by the Rural School Children of Woodson County in honor of the Woodson County Boys who entered the World War and in memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice

To you, from failing hands,
We throw the torch --
Be yours to hold it high:
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep.
McCrae.

A life-size bronze statue of a WWI doughboy is depicted with a rifle and grenade, advancing through the stumps and barbed wire of No Man's Land. It is mounted on a base of brick with a concrete top. It was sponsored by the Exchange Club of Woodville, sculpted by E.M. Viquesney, and dedicated on October 16,1927. The base was designed by Alton Weigel.

Memorial Grove at Greenhill Park

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

Berkeley World War I Commemorative Plaque

100 Cities / 100 Memorials

Although far from the combat fronts, Berkeley was one of California's largest cities during World War I and participated in the war effort in many ways, including critical manufacturing, training of servicemen, war-related research at the University of California campus, and volunteer and patriotic programs in the community.  At least 100 Berkeley men did not return from the war.  They were remembered with a plaque that was later permanently installed on Berkeley's Veteran's Memorial Building in 1923.  The plaque was restored and rededicated on the Centennial of Armistice Day in 2018.

Dedicated in 1920 by the Centralia & Clinton Co. Illinois Chapters of War Mothers

Description and photo from http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/ww1-mem.htm

This WW1 memorial is located in Section 34 of Arlington National Cemetery, near the graves of General John J. Pershing and many of his "doughboys." It is dedicated to the 116,516 Americans who died in World War 1.

“FOR GOD AND COUNTRY”
Twelve of the young men who left the Le Roy area in 1917 and 1918 for service in
World War 1 did not return home. In their memory the town planted 12 Memorial
Pine Trees in South Park. This type of memorial was created in many towns and
cities across America. In many of those places the trees died or were remove due
to road construction projects. Here in Le Roy, the small bronze plaques were lost
and went unseen and were nearly lost in the shadow of the tall trees until an alert
citizen found them and collected them. The town and American Legion decided
to restore the plaques and attach them to a large shadow box sign at the entrance
to the park so these brave sons of Le Roy who made The Supreme Sacrifice in The
World War would not be forgotten and would always be remembered for the price
they paid for our Liberty.

“DEDICATED TO THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES WHILE IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY”

DESIGNED AND ERECTED BY AN ANONYMOUS DONOR 

An obelisk at First Street and North Grand Avenue that memorializes 113 Sangamon County residents who died in World War I.  

The memorial, about a seven-foot granite obelisk topped by a world globe, apparently was designed by the donor. Two small granite benches sit on either side of the obelisk. A vintage street light and flag pole are also in this mini street corner park.  This Monument is not vintage to the time period and was donated in approximately 2003, because it says World War 1 and not “The World War”.

Private Sam Yurkovich’s memorial, chosen by his family when his
remains were returned home is one of many of this statue that seems
to have been purchased from a regional artist. There are several
more in the area and others have been destroyed in the past 100
years. Another example is pictured in the photo gallery. This is the
best example and the most well maintained of this type of individual
soldiers memorial I have seen

Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery

“SOME DEEDS MUST NOT DIE, SOME NAMES MUST NOT WITHER”
- motto of the National Society of 1917 World War Registrars

The Rollo-Calcaterra American Legion Post No.15 of St. Louis, Missouri preserved a
vital piece of St. Louis history. In the early 1920’s, at the same time that Post 15 was
being formed, the Gold Star Mothers of St. Louis and the National Society of 1917
World War Registrars were organizing an effort to construct a memorial to honor the sons
and daughters of St. Louis who had lost their lives serving their country in the World War.
The memorial included 1,185 round bronze plaques that were set into the boulevard of
Kingshighway, each with a sycamore tree planted by the City of St. Louis. In the 1980’s,
significant changes were made to Kingshighway and the bronze plaques were in jeopardy
of being thrown away.
Rollo-Cancaterra American Legion Post No. 15 saved 752 of the bronze plaques and
documented the 433 that were lost forever. Since that time, the Post has had a single
missionto find an appropriate permanent home for the plaques and on September 20,
2012 at 1:30PM, their mission was fulfilled. For on that Sunday, which was also National
Gold Star Mothers’ Day, The World War 1 Court of Honor Memorial was officially dedicated
at the Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery in St. Louis, Missouri.
