The names of > individuals in the photograph collection are listed on this site. Use the > alphabetical search key to look for an individual name. To receive a > photocopy of the image and the cost for ordering a print, make a request > through DITTO, a copy service of MPL. > ----- > > Another search option is to click on one letter of the alphabet to browse > the list of names beginning with that letter. The collection itself was > compiled by American War Mothers, Milwaukee County Chapter. About 10 volumes > of photographs were copied and placed in the library, under the tile: "A > record of the heroes of Milwaukee County who answered their country's call > in the World War, Apr. 1917-Nov. 1918. " [Milwaukee?] 1921. > > Unfortunately, this photo collection is does not include every veteran. In > fact, I suspect it is only a small minority of them. > > John C.
