Excerpt from New Rochelle, Her Part in the Great War: Historical and Biographical Sketches of Individuals and Organizations Who Rendered Valuable Service to Their Country During the Great World War
The story told in these pages would be only a replica of what was done in every community throughout the United States, if other communities were to put their bit on record. It is not through vainglory that New Rochelle seeks to tell its story, but that it may leave an authentic document of its Share in a momentous and grave crisis of our history to future generations, who may read, ponder, rejoice, and draw inspiration from this plain and unvarnished tale of patriotism, service, and sacrifice.
