Description
A group of men, some probably World War I veterans, are shown visiting Suresnes Cemetery near Paris, France. An American Legion gathering is going on in Paris at this time. Many American soldiers who died during World War I are buried in this cemetery and the grave crosses are visible in the background. One of the men on the right has a Knights of Columbus arm band on and is handing out literature. This photograph is part of a group associated with the Knights of Columbus activities taking place in Paris during this American Legion event. The date is believed to be fall, 1927.
