In this photo of a Western Union telegram from the collection of Patrick Lernout, dated Sept. 25, 1918 it informs the family of the death of American World War One soldier Wesley Creech. Creech served on the front line in Belgium when the American army was pushing the Germans back in 1918. In August 1918 he was killed by an enemy bullet in the head. On Wednesday, March 26, 2014, President Barack Obama will honor Creech and other Americans who died in a struggle so all-encompassing, so horrific, it simply became known as the Great War. (AP Photo)
