The eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month of 1918
The following are more pictures of WWI Veteran’s. These are but a few of those who served from Parsonsfield, Porter and South Hiram. We would appreciate copies of any that are missing. If you have pictures please let us know.
Kezar Falls, Maine American Legion
The American Legion Post at Kezar Falls Maine had been in existence for a few years by the time it received its permanent charter Oct. 25, 1929 – dated 1928. The post was named – The Carroll S. West Post, No. 123 in honor of Carroll S. West of Parsonsfield, the first soldier from this area to die in World War I. It was dedicated in memory of: Carroll West, Alfred Goodwin, George Gray, Ralph Mason, Ralph Libby, Howard MacDonald and Roscoe Durgin.
After World War II the name was changed to The West-Day Post to also honor Erwin L. Day of Porter, the first local soldier to die in World War II.
The American Legion now honors and represents American veterans from all wars. Unfortunately, there have been many.
