Clippings and memorabilia from World War I scrapbook compiled by Dr. Naaman H. Keyser, page 117
A single and rather length newspaper clipping is glued to page 117. The 1919 article bears the headline "J. H. Alcorn Tells War Experiences: Germantown Soldier Narrates the Story of the Hardships Endured in France" and continues with "J. H. Alcorn, 234 West Rittenhouse street, one of Uncle Sam's soldiers who has just returned from abroad, held the rapt attention of nearly one hundred members of the Germantown Purple Heroes Loyal Orange Lodge at their meeting Monday evening, as he told in a vivid manner his experiences at the front." The article continues with his role on the ship "America," and of his role in battles in Germany and France.
