Virginia played an important role during World War I, supplying the Allied forces with food, horses and steel in 1915 and 1916. After America entered the war in 1917, Virginians served in numerous military and civilian roles--Red Cross nurses, sailors, shipbuilders, pilots, stenographers and domestic gardeners. More than 100,000 were drafted--more than 3600 lost their lives. Almost every city and county lost men and women to the war. The author details the state's manifold contributions to the war effort and presents a study of monuments erected after the war.

Lynn Rainville has spent two decades as a public historian exploring the extraordinary contributions of ordinary Virginians. This work has been funded by national grants, documented in four books, and is grounded in community engagement and studying overlooked aspects of American history, including historic American cemeteries, segregated schools, enslaved communities, poor farms, and World War I.
