Life: "My Pal"
"My Pal"
Mauriel Joslyn of Sparta, Ga. is adorned in a WWI M1917 Helmet Saturday, Oct. 3 at the annual Oliver Hardy Festival in Harlem, Ga. The civics teacher was out with her husband, Rick, informing the public about the Salvation Army and their role specifically during World War I. "Most people don't realize they went to war, as non-combatants of course," Mauriel said. "Everyone talks about the Civil War and World War II because their is only one person left, they don't think about World War I. It's important because everything we know about modern warfare came from this war." The two have been traveling the last seven years teaching the public about WWI. Mauriel acquired the steel headgear from a collector. Inside is inscribed 318th INFTry A.E.F. "My Pal."
