mission and projects
Since 1986, the purposes of The Great War Society have been to study all aspects of World War I and to promote a greater understanding of this catastrophic conflict and its profound and lasting effects on subsequent generations. To achieve these goals, the organization focuses on activities that involve the work of volunteers, charitable contributions, and sponsorships in the areas of Education, Preservation, Translation & Transcription. In 2009 we started two special projects to support our Mission Statement. (more info)
