The Oswego County WWI Commemoration Project has been working with the American Battle Monuments Commission along with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and the Royal British Legion to place an Oswego County commemorative flag at the grave markers of thirty-three Oswego County WWI service members buried overseas in eleven cemeteries in France, Belgium, and England. “An artificial poppy will be attached to the flag stick on 33 graves and the Oswego County flag (above), will have the words, “Honored and Remembered” beneath the county insignia,” said Dan Allen of the WWI commemoration project. This is the grave of U.S. Marine Sgt., Neil Evans Wheeler, a native of Oswego, who is buried at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery in France.
