This classic photograph was taken in front of the Eagle Temple (later the Masonic Temple) on W. Center Street. It shows about 240 of Albion’s War veterans posing in their uniforms. This is one of those l-o-n-g photographs that were quite popular in those days. People who wanted a copy could order/purchase one, and several serviceman did. Sometimes the serviceman or the family put an “x” to identify themselves in the photo. As the years went by and Albion’s World War I soldiers died off, these photographs remained with individual families, but no one could remember who the people were in the photo, other than “grandpa.” Here is one miniature version of the whole image (unfortunately of low quality), and two sets of larger segments of the same picture, one is just the picture, the other is with the few names that have been identified so far added. Following the images there is a list of all the identified Veterans.  Small version of the whole World War I Albion Veterans photograph
