Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- World War I was the first worldwide battle for the future of democracy, but stories on the war, especially locally, are hard to find. We know local people participated and helped win the war, but details are scarce.
Delaine Donaldson of the Effingham County Cultural Center & Museum did a little digging on the heroes from WWI in the local area. You can listen to the interview below.
Thanks to Delaine Donaldson for giving more details on WWI heroes from local communities. You can find more information on the museum and learn more about the County’s history at effinghamcountymuseum.org.
This is part of a monthly series of interviews that will continue next month.
This interview was conducted by Derek Warren, News Director for Cromwell Media, Effingham
