    When my aunt died we inherited a lot of her old stuff and among the old photos and furniture in the attic I found a little box that contained a watch. The note accompanying it said it was worn by my great grandfather during WW1 - He served in the British Army and was wounded in the Somme in 1916. We worked out that he was just past his 18th birthday when he was wounded. He was shipped back home to Ireland and died in 1945 from blood poisoning aged 47. I still have that watch.

    I've been through this museum back in the '80s. It was only the 2 buildings and the basement was storage. They had a mock-up of a trench and it was very realistic. My Grandpa was in the 32nd Division, 107th Engineers Co D. He built the 1st wooden fence around Quentin Roosevelt's grave. I have a piece of that plane that my grandpa turned into a 'Crush-proof' for his matches. I also have his leggings, overseas hat, gas mask, safety razor (never used), many, many postcards, German photos of Hindenburg, Ludendorff, Kiser Bill that he took off German prisoners, and his helmet. All great treasures to me. Grandpa died when I was 10 years old. Just the other day I pulled out his war stuff, as I often do, and remembered the stories he would tell me. How I wish now that I am 69 I could talk to him. Thanks for this video!

    Local boy here and former volunteer at the National World War I museum. A few things about the objects that you mentioned in your video; -There are 9,000 poppies in No Man's Land under the glass bridge, each one representing 1,000 combat deaths for a total of 9,000,000 dead. And this is only for those killed in combat; not the civilians or those that died during the Spanish Flu epidemic than began in 1918. In Flanders, the poppies were like a wildflower in that region. After a battle died down, the landscape would be blasted clean. But with the niter in the shells that exploded and the dead bodies of soldiers and horses in no man's land, the poppies would spring up out of the ground and often be the first thing that would regrow out of the destroyed landscape. -The tank is actually not American, but a French FT-17 tank. It got stuck during the 1918 Fall offensives and knocked out by a German 77mm field gun (an example of which is exhibited nearby) to the rear engine compartment, and shrapnel balls were found there during conservation. This was recovered by a US maintenance battalion and dragged to a tank park where parts and tanks could be repaired and repurposed. I can't remember how it came to the US, I think it was part of a private collection at one point, before it was purchased and restored by the museum. -I have walked by Hindenberg's coat and hat many times and I have never noticed his initials embroidered in the hat. Good eye! -The upper exhibit halls (one of which where War Remains is set up) were actually the original parts of the museum when it opened in 1926. The lower part where the main museum is now started construction in 1998 and was reopened in 2006 with designations of being the National WWI Museum and a National Historic Landmark. The exhibit halls feature rotating exhibits and also are the resting places of the remains of the Pantheon de la Guerre, a massive cyclorama that was painting during the war by two French painters and their team. It toured the world before it was stored in (I believe) a warehouse in Baltimore as WWII broke out before it could be shipped back to France. It was rediscovered after the war and was bought by an American Restauranteur. It was severely damaged from water and improper storage and he gave it to a local Kansas City painter and muralist to see if it anything could be salvaged from it. The largest parts that were salvageable were put into the exhibit halls (with some patch jobs and additions that were not part of the original composition), and the museum holds other pieces that were damaged but still saved. Sadly, the rest of the roughly 300 yds of painting that so many people put their time and effort into was destroyed. Well done and hope you had some burnt ends while you were here!

    Never knew that museum existed what a great experience. I use to have a original uncle Sam poster that use to be in a glass case in the orderly room when I was in the army. They were going to throw it away I asked if I could have it and had it on the wall in my room. I put it in a poster tube when I came back to the states and had it for 40 years. In 2014 I was in the process of moving to Texas and I threw it away, when I got out here I was watching antique roadshow on PBS and they had that dam poster on the show placing a 10,000 value I couldn't believe it, that just made my day. The person who designed it is the reason that makes it valuable life is funny.

He was wounded 6th July 1916 and also 19th October 1918. After the war, he was transferred to Army reserve's and would of had to enlist with the Royal West Kent regiment if anything happened. It was amazing to find. He was awarded 3 medals and had 2 wound stripes on his sleeve. Wasn't bad enough to be sent home. Must have seen some horrendous things!

    My GrandDad Was a Korean War Vet And passed on About 5 years ago But Some of my Best Childhood Memories were in Detroit and Even Flint 30 years ago At The Sloan and Longway Planetarium . He re-enacted Revolutionary War And I experienced the Life Canvas Tents no Nets - Full Regalia with Forced Lol marches Summer Time in Leather and Lots of Linen. Fort Toronto and Ticonderoga Were some of The Best Trips To Spend time with Grandpa and Be a Living History For others to Watch and Hopefully Learn from the Past!

    I went to this museum last summer. It was amazing and so week organized. Very interesting to say the very least. When I wasthere last year, they had a 4d virtual reality experience done by Steven Spielberg. Don't forget to go upin the tower. Amazing view. Absolutely amazing!!! Go to Kansas City, Missouri and see this!! 👀

    The Imperial War Museum, in London, has a massive gallery dedicated to The Great War. I keep telling myself I need to go back and see what's changed, over the years. But this museum has now been added to my "If I ever get States Side, I must visit this place" list!

    My father was in the Maryland 317th Trench Mortar Battery. 42d Rainbow Divison. He was in France during WWI. He spoke fluid German. His buddies told replacements that he was a captured German soldier that they kept as a mascot. After the war he was the editor of the Rainbow Reville their newsletter.

    Great video, Great content, now I have to go see this museum!!!! You have said you have only scratched the surface a few times on your museum visits. I went to the Hero's Museum in Fankenmuth Michigan. It has the hero's from all the wars and even Astronauts that are from Michigan. I started to take pictures of all of them and then thought it was overwhelming and wondered how in the world do you JD pick and choose! That is why I always tell you thank you, I learn something new, and now want to look up even more! Love how you put your videos together!
