American WWI Mothers' Pilgrimage, 1930
http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4224.htm
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. This database
contains the names those women who were entitled to make the pilgrimage, as
shown by department records on 15 November 1929. Each record provides the
name of widow or mother, city and state of residence, and relationship to
the deceased. Additionally, information regarding the decedent's name, rank,
unit, and cemetery is provided.
