FROM MANY JATTLE FIELDS 



Wonderful Collection of Relics on Exhibi- 

 tion in Bacon Building for Benefit of 

 United War Work Fund W, I V / j / g, 



Ono of the most interesting collection;) 

 of relics of the war thus far assembled 

 is on exhibition on the ground floor of 

 I the building formerly used as the Bar-on 

 ' department store. The collection has 

 been turned over to the United War 

 Work campaign and all contributions ot 

 visitors are to be devoted to this purpose. 



The Collection is owned jointly by the 

 Liberty Loan Committee of New England 

 and t. I.. GtU, and consists of many hun- 

 dreds of specimens of battle-scarred 

 paraphernalia, ranging in size from the 

 rill.- cartridges picked up on many fields 

 of notable strife to the great 105 mm. 

 guns captured from the Germans, the 

 French 75 mm., said to be the most de- 

 structive war engine in the world; 

 various models of French and German 

 howitzers, mortars and field pieces, and, 

 in short, specimens of all arms which 

 have been used in the present war. Each 

 has its interesting history, and, covered 

 with the mud and scars characteristic 

 of the field from which it was taken, 

 leaves but little of the'horror of fright- 

 fulness to the imagination of the ob- 

 server. 



Besides these guns there are bullet 

 i awl shell-torn airplanes, aero bombs, sea 

 I depth-bombs, mines, shrapnel and bullet- 

 ' punctured helmets and war-worn uni- 

 I forms of all the furces which have been 

 '• identified in the struggle, each of which 

 j tells its own pathetic story of the fate of 

 the wearer.
