American WW I
Mothers' Pilgrimage, 1930
Description:
In the late 1920s, the War
Department of the United States compiled a list of mothers
and widows of deceased
soldiers killed in World War I and offered to send them to
their loved one's final
resting place in Europe. As of 15 November 1929, the
following women from New
Mexico were entitled to make the pilgrimage. In a few cases,
the woman's surname and
decedent's surname can be different, most likely due to an
error in spelling in the original
document. Taken from: List of Mothers and Widows of American
Soldiers, Sailors, and
Marines Entitled to Make a Pilgrimage to War Cemeteries in
Europe. Washington, D.C.:
Government Printing Office, 1930.
