Description

A group of men, women, and children are shown standing during a ceremony at a World War I monument located in Bathelemont, France. The monument was erected by the French as a memorial to the first three American soldiers to die in World War I: Thomas Enright, James Gresham, and Merle Hay of the 16th Infantry, Company F, 1st Division of the American Expeditionary Force. It is believed that this event was held during the American Legion gathering in Paris at this time. This photograph is part of a group associated with the Knights of Columbus activities taking place in Paris during this event.
