Has anyone ever heard of a set of books, about 6 books in each set, called "The Great Events of The Great War" - a guy came to my house yesterday and we got to talking about war and he went and got this set of books that he had bought - on the front inside pages is written: "This copy of The Great Events of The Great War is registered in the name of AUGUSTA F. SHADE to whom it was presented by E.S. TEMPLETON in memory of her son who made the Supreme Sacrifice for Humanity" another page is: "This certifies that The Great Events of The Great War is issued strickly as a Registered Edition and that each copy issued is to be registered in the name of its owner at headquarters and certified in Volumn 1 in this fore - signed Robert G. Woodside, Commander-in-Chief, then another signature OFFICIAL: ??? G. ELTON, Adjunt General" A page with a certificate top whom this book was for says "To the people of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA this is to Certify that the War Board of the National Alumni Association has investigated and established that PRIVATE CHAUNCEY F. SCHADE rendered patriotic services to the National Cause during: THE GREAT WAR Entered U.S. Army April 4, 1918 as Private, Company I, 319th Infantry. Served Overseas May 30, 1918 to November 1, 1918.

This has an official seal from "The National Alumni" (can't read the inside part) and it is signed by what looks like J???? F. Andrews, Registrar and JW Davison, President War Board, N.A.A. ---------------------------- I found that he was from Erie, PA and is buried there, the Augusta is his mother, I got his WW1 draft registration form off Ancestry, he was 25, born July 22, 1892, signed June 5, 1917. I pulled up a link to those books - but I have never seen anything like this - what is your opinion? delilah evans
