Pall Mall Doughboys

Welcome to the Pall Mall Doughboys podcast by Sgt. Alvin York State Historic Park! We cover a wide range of topics related to World War I.

On this episode, we discuss the living history event titled "The Ascension of the Cumberlands" that was held at the park. This program is commemorating the march of federal troops through the Wolf River Valley in August of 1863 on their way to Knoxville, TN. This event spoke about forgotten stories of people that lived through the tumultuous time of the American Civil War in the valley - highlighting several first person accounts and stories - that directly impacted the likes of Alvin York and others that lived in the valley in 1917.

Join Gavin and I speaking with the diligent researchers of Doughboy MIA. In their own words, Doughboy MIA is a nonprofit foundation committed to the commemoration and accounting of the U.S. Missing in Action of the Great War. Their hard work seeks to when and where possible to locate and identify the final resting place of the U.S. Missing in Action of the Great War and find ways to recognize and officially identify recovered U.S. Missing in Action remains or grave locations from the Great War, or to otherwise commemorate discovered or identified U.S. Missing in Action of the Great War.

If you would like to support Doughboy MIA's mission and would like to help their work continue feel free to donate at doughboy.org. Be sure to scroll down and fill out the form on the page, as the "Donate" button on the top right is for the Doughboy Foundation, rather than Doughboy MIA.

If you would like to join in the effort and contribute your time in finding these missing souls or have information that may help - feel free to contact Dan, Peter, or Alex.
