Home Town Heroes of Two World Wars:

World War I
Special thanks to the Kingston Office of Veteran's Affairs for
allowing us to scan and post these rare photos. We're
running them as a salute to the men and women who
served and we need your help. Can you identify any of the
people pictured below? If so, please drop us a
line
and let us
know who you think they may be.
On October 18th, 1919, seventy four of Kingston's veterans of the "Great" War gathered on the town green to pose for a group photo. As far as we know this photo is the only one of its kind in Kingston. Click on the photo insert to view details.

In August of 1946, Kingston held a "Welcome Home" party
for 139 World War II vets -- 134 men and 5 women. Sadly,
the quality of the photography is not nearly as good as it
had been for the WWI vets pictured at the top of the page.
