SUMMARY:* Fort Devens Museum Talk reveals “Human Face of the Great War”
DESCRIPTION:Fort Devens Museum Talk June 17th reveals "Human Face of the Great War."\n\n \n\n                The 100th anniversary of America's entry into World War I has focused attention anew on that war-so often neglected as we're taken up by the even wider scale\, longer involvement \, and constant movement of the action of the second World War. Speaking at Fort Devens Museum on Saturday June 17th at 1:00 PM\, Dan Leclerc intends to show "The Human Face of the Great War\," its impact on human life\, and how it still affects us.\n\n                Of his presentation\, Leclerc writes "The unprecedented and shocking human cost of World War I staggered all involved\, raised doubts about military strategy\, and had a deep impact on culture\, art\, literature\, and contemporary geo-political reality. The shock wave of this massive loss of life and collateral suffering resonates to this day."  Among other topics\, he will examine the concept of total war\, life in the trenches\, shell shock\, and the impact of devastating sorrow and grief\, then and now.\n\n                Leclerc taught history for 20 years in the Chelmsford and Hingham public schools and went on to serve as a senior school administrator in Ashland. A graduate of Mass. Military Academy who served in the National Guard as a Second Lieutenant and executive officer of an infantry company\, he holds a Master's degree in history from Northeastern University.\n\n                This program is part of the museum's celebration marking the centenary of Camp and Fort Devens.
