Send Cakes and Sweets to Soldiers at Camp Grant in 1917


From the October 18, 2017, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

"A DeKalb lady receiving the following from Camp Grant comes forward with the suggestion today that DeKalb women and girls spend a little time in making cakes and other sweets for the soldier boys not mobilized there."

Meaning soldiers not sent off to war.  Some more World War I homefront effort.
