Pictured is the McLaughlin Park World War I Memorial. I took the photo on May 26, 2024. It sits at the intersections of Tillery and Jay Streets in Downtown Brooklyn. While this may have been a fine location when it was dedicated in 1919, it is not so much today. The Memorial is difficult to read, but between the front and the back, we have the names of 65 brave New Yorkers who died for their country on the fields of Western Europe in the First World War. See my article for all the names and the ALT text for what is pictured.
