WORLD WAR I: POSTMARKED NEW JERSEY
By Robert G. Rose
The Centennial of what was once called the “Great War” is marked by the 100th anniversary of the United States entry on April 6, 1917, in what we now remember as World War I. Because New Jersey’s location on the east coast provided easy access for the movement of troops and war supplies to the Western Front, the State became the home to a number of military installations in support of the war effort.
