Looking for Living Relatives of Newport's World War I Veterans

During World War I (1914 - 1918), the men and women of Rhode Island answered the call to serve. Many of them served in the armed forces of Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. Many lost their lives during the war. The primary goal of the Rhode Island World War One Centennial Commission (RIWW1CC) is to remember them all.
