Provenance Gammon Irons

Provenance - to attribute a history or story to an object. These are eleven stories of mundane objects that were handed down to the families of the Great War veterans. Eleven true stories for the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month ending the Great War. These are stories from the veterans of the Fifth Infantry Company Officers' Training Camp at Fort Oglethorpe, GA, 1917. I located an Officer's Yearbook and contacted 155 descendants; I received eleven responses.
