Delphos World War I Memorial

Thomas Callahan, George H. Hemme, Raymond V. Patton, Edwin C. Smith, George J. Nolte, Clifford Lambert, Glenn Truesdale, Claude L. Walterick, Herman Weaver, William A. Sheeter, and Ferrell R. Swink are honored with the words “Their valor shall not be forgotten” and with Major John McCrae’s poem “In Flanders Fields,” which evokes poppies blowing among soldiers’ crosses, larks flying above the guns, the dead recalling that they recently lived and were loved, and a charge to the living to take up their quarrel and hold high the torch.
