Sharon Whitehurst treasures memories of family's doughboy 2018-01-15 - Camp Devens in Ayer, MA - Photo from the collection of Sharon Whitehurst. Uncle Lawrence Henry Ross is in the center, above, with two Army 'buddies', un-named. Their motley layers of garments testify to the cold and to the fact, also a matter of history, that proper woolen uniforms were behind schedule in production. The doughboys endured unspeakable hardships stateside in the Brutal Winter of 1917-1918. In France it only got worse. Sharon Whitehurst keeps his memory alive today, less than five months prior to the 100th year of his ultimate sacrifice, writing, "Uncle Lawrence died 1 August, 1918, a casualty of the Second Battle of the Marne," - Sharon Whitehurst Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Period authentic structure at Two Creeks encampment 2018-01-15 - Two Creeks Primitive Encampment, Glens Fork area, Adair County, KY - Photo from Ken Hill. A popular gathering place at the past weekend, January 12-14, 2018, at 3rd annual "2 Creeks* Primitives Encampment and Shooting Match was this authentic permanent structure, what Daniel Boone called a "half-faced-shelter" - snug when compared to canvas enclosures. This photo was taken with advance party visitors on Thursday, January 12, 2018, with, from left, Cheryl Tillery, Columbia, KY; Guy Kroll of Pennsylvania; Jake Hill of Glens Fork, KY; Preston Coomer of Columbia, KY; and Scott Illsley of Pennysylvania. I built this shelter in honor of Daniel Boone, who lived in a similar one with his wife, Rebecca, for a full winter. Have to say, we probably couldn't have made it through the encampment without this structure. It accommodates up to seven, and the fire, with the reflector free stone masonry wall, kept those in each rotation relatively warm, and it was the only place in the camp where water didn't freeze. It is sited to make use of prevailing winds, which helped more than most would think. Ken Hill Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Jamestown's Doughboy in winter - 14 Jan 2018 2018-01-15 - Monument Square, Jamestown, Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Coming onto Monument Square on East Cumberland Avenue, Jamestown's Doughboy's grenade appeared to be a giant snowball, being thrown from high over the Bank of Jamestown. But the sobering thought of what was going on 100 years ago, with the end of hostilities still 10 months off quickly dispelled such a notion. Maybe someone knows the conditions in Europe at the time. We frequently hear it called a "Brutal" winter in the United States that year. - EW/LW. Photo 14 Jan 2018.

Winter Storm 14 Jan 2018 scene: Happy Horses 2018-01-15 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. At least they appeared to be happy, and fans who have OD'ed on the movie "A Town Named Panic," imagine Cheval starting a snowball fight anytime. These pampered Townies, however, are much more refined than that. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
