New WWI online exhibit



Title: New WWI online exhibit
The University of Missouri-Columbia's Museum of Anthropology and the
Western Historical Manuscripts Collection announce the opening of an
exciting online exhibit: Hezzie Goes to War: World War I through the
Eyes of a Mid-Missourian
(http://coas.missouri.edu/anthromuseum/pattrickwwi).

In 1917, John Hezekiah ("Hezzie") Pattrick, an MU alumnus and Higbee,
Missouri, native, sailed with General Pershing to France in the first
wave of Americans. This online exhibit presents objects and documentary
materials related to Pattrick's service in France during World War I,
telling his story through his letters to his parents. This exhibit is
made possible through the generosity of Mrs. Elizabeth Pattrick
Mackenzie, Pattrick's daughter.
