World War I Wall of Honor
2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the entry of the United States into World War I. To mark this occasion, BCGS has constructed this Wall of Honor to honor those who served. We invite all members to submit their soldiers, whether they were ancestors, extended family or just family friends. Each entry on the Wall of Honor features a short description of the soldier and a photograph if available.

These are the individuals which our BCGS members are honoring for their World War I service. Click on the person's name to view the slide showing his photograph and the details of his service.
