When doing research about the men who served officially as Secretary of War for the U.S. I discovered that the secretary of war during WWI was from Martinsburg and also served as Mayor prior to this position in Cleveland Ohio (where my wife is from). This interesting discovery is on top of the fact that in 2010/2011 I helped in a small way with the care of Frank Buckles (last American WW1 Veteran) in his last days who lived not to far from my home in Martinsburg, West Virginia.
I Discovered something interesting and I think it very much pertains to the paintings i own of World War 1 by artist Scott Hook who is a relative of the controversial Civil War General Joseph Hooker. I also happen to own two other interesting historical art pieces tied to WW1. One is a small mural i believe to be from 1933 era and the New Deal Arts Funding during the Great Depression. The other is an amazing photo looking down on hundreds of soldiers, and their hats making a huge logo at Camp Meade. I have talked to the people at Camp Meade and they said this is the largest photo of that photographic ollaboration.
