Honor Roll Project: WWI Memorial in Oxford, CT

 


One hundred and five years after the United States entered World War I to fight on the side of the Allies, I visited the war memorial in Oxford, Connecticut, to photograph and transcribe the names for Heather Wilkinson Rojo's Honor Roll Project. This honors their service and makes the names searchable for descendants.

Mounted on a boulder and visible from a winding state road, the memorial says:
