GeorgeHedges:
I may have pictures of this parade.  My great uncle 1st Sgt George Hedges had left a photo album during the Mexican Border in 1916, WW1 in France and unknown pictures of soldiers parading.

Editor:
Would love to see those!

GeorgeHedges:


I will post them soon.  Are you familiar with the Hackensack High School Veterans Website?  I share a lot of my research with them and many of my pictures are on their site under WW1

Editor:
Yes I am. It's a great site.
