Book Description
Excerpt from Twenty-Seventh Annual Report of the City of Rochester, New Hampshire: For the Year Ending December 31st Nineteen Hundred and Eighteen Gentlemen of the City Council: We are once more assembled for the purpose of entering upon the work of a new year. The year of 1918 will go down in history as one in which there have been many changes. Our country having entered into the conflict to assist in making this world a fitting place in which to live and where true Democracy may prevail, we may well be proud of the results that have been attained and the part that we. as Americans, have taken in affairs to reach the desired results. Rochester has great reason to be proud of its part in this work. Three hundred and forty-seven of our boys have entered the service and have done their part in one way or another. Some of them are buried in the fields of France. While we regret their loss yet we should ever keep their memory green in our hearts. I would suggest that when the boys come home or when there are enough home to make it an object that our citizens should do something to celebrate their homecoming and to show our appreciation of their efforts for the cause of Liberty and right. During the past year it has been impossible to do all that was planned at the first of the year, but there has been much done that does not make a showing until the reports are printed.
