The time is coming for the annual WWI Symposium at the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri.  It is scheduled for November 1 – 3, and we give notice of it now because the early bird deadline for registering is coming up — September 24.

The subject this year is 1918:  Crucible of War.

These have been excellent symposia in the past, and well worth attending.  For more information, see the link below:
