On the base of the cannon at Norwalk Town Green, in an inconspicuous corner on one of the plaques, is a short list of seventeen women who served in WWI. While researching them, another eight names were found. All of their stories deserve to be told. They were nurses with the Army or Red Cross, YMCA employees, and one was in the U.S. Navy. While none of them died in the line of duty, the story of their lives and service deserves to be told. The First World War entailed horrific conditions and injuries to those who fought. The recovery from that action was often led by women like those on this list who volunteered to be there.
