1910s
COMMUNITY
World War I was
a world-wide conflict during 1914-1918, and the United States was a combatant
1917-1918. Naval forces were engaged on the Atlantic, and land forces were
mainly in battles in France. These Mesa County recruits, ready to leave for
military service, boarded a car on the Midland Railroad which served Grand
Junction from 1890 to 1918.
