From the Oct. 14, 2015, MidWeek "Looking Back."
OCTOBER 1915, 100 YEARS AGO.
Holmes & Boyle in Sycamore have an interesting display of war trophies from Europe in their window. It includes a German shrapnel exploded shell, a basket in which these shells are transported, German officer's coat pierced by bullets and stained with blood, A French officer's bayonet and cap, a Prussian's steel heel shoe and other trophies of great interest.
Of course, this was before the United States was involved in what has become known as World War I.
