Title

Armistice Day, November, 1918; Downtown Oskaloosa; Iowa

Description

On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month of 1918, the Allies successfully signed an armistice agreement with Germany in Rethondes, France. Aside from huge celebration for this occasion across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the United States also shared in this celebration. This image reflects that celebratory feeling, as hundreds gathered in and around the famous Oskaloosa, Iowa town square to rejoice the end of World War I, knowing that fathers and sons would soon be coming home to reunite with families.
