About this record
The signing of the armistice in November of 1918 signaled the end of World War I. Although the United States had fought only from 1917 to 1918, a year was more than enough time to claim too many young lives. The coming of peace provoked widespread celebration across the country, as evidenced here this announcement for a big parade in Sturgeon Bay.Citation
