Historical Note
Word War I, also known as The Great War, started in 1914 between the Allied forces (Great Britan and France) versus the Central Powers (Germany and Austria). America’s eventual introduction into the war in 1917 helped lead to the Allied victory over the Central Powers in November of 1918. An unknown national congregational organization sent out surveys in early 1919 to potentially record levels of patriotism from the congregation. Many churches had provided support to the wartime efforts through time, money, or active service members.
