PVT Dowling remembered (or Mis-remembered)

This year’s Veterans Day — Sunday, Nov. 11 — will fall on the 100th anniversary of World War I’s end, which happened at the 11th hour of the 11th day of November, 1918. It’s an important centennial. In early October there will be a brief but appropriate commemorative ceremony in Wallace at the War Mothers Plaque on the green of the Wallace Carnegie Library. The event is part of this year’s Fall For History program, scheduled for Oct. 4-7. Ed Vang and Mike Feiler, both of the FFH’s organizing committee, are orchestrating the WWI element, which will begin outside the library, by the flagpole, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, October 6th and will run for about 45 minutes.
