This stained glass window in the Shiloh Baptist Church honors Urbane Francis Bass (April 4, 1880 – October 6, 1918), an African-American doctor and first lieutenant in the U.S. Army, who was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions during World War I.  

Bass was born on April 4, 1880, in Richmond, Virginia to Rosa and Richard J. Bass. His father was a salesman, alternating from shoes and clothing in the 1880s, to insurance in the 1900s. The couple had six children and lived on East Duval St. in Richmond. While in school, Bass worked as a clerk. He graduated from Virginia Union University in 1902 and the Leonard Medical School of Shaw University in 1906. After leaving Leonard, Bass began a medical practice in Richmond but by 1909 had moved to Fredericksburg where he opened a larger practice and pharmacy on Amelia Street. Bass became the first African American physician since the Reconstruction to reside in the city and his practice was well received by the African American community despite the lack of privileges given by the local hospital.In 1916, Bass wrote to Secretary of War Newton Baker, offering his services as a doctor for the armed forces. In the letter he dictated, "I am herewith offering my services for the Army Medical Corps should there be need for a Negro Physician for that branch of Service. Dr. Urbane Bass, Fredericksburg, Physician".

Bass received a commission as a First Lieutenant in the Medical Reserve Corps and reported for duty at Fort Des Moines on August 14, 1917. Fort Des Moines opened for training African-American men as there had been a huge influx of African-American volunteers after a petition was erected by the students of Howard University. However, there was still some discontent at the facility as many soldiers found that he had been unfairly assessed for merely being black. After receiving basic medical officer training, Bass was transferred to  Camp Funston. On March 30, 1918, Bass departed for France with the 372nd Infantry Regiment of the 93rd Infantry Division. 

By September 1918, the 372nd and 369th Infantry were responsible for the defenses of Bellevue Signal Ridge, and assisted the French legions in trying to fend off the German assaults coming from the trenches. Most of Bass' work was done in the front lines, in the various aid stations, dealing with immediate injuries.

On October 6, 1918, Monthois, France was facing heavy artillery fire from the Germans, leaving many wounded in the process. Bass had gone into the line to provide immediate aid to the wounded when a shell blasted in the forward aid station he had been working in. The explosion severed both of his legs around the thigh region. With not many attendants around, Bass died in minutes from shock and blood loss. He was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Cross on July 9, 1918, for administering "first aid in the open under prolonged and intense shell fire until he was severely wounded and carried from the field."

Bass' body was returned home and reburied in Fredericksburg National Cemetery on July 23, 1921, making him the first African-American officer to be interred there. The Shiloh Baptist Church in Fredericksburg installed a large stained glass window incorporating Bass' image in honor of his heroism. The American Medical Association acknowledged Dr. Bass's contributions and service in their 1919 issue. In 1991, the Rebel Bowl Building in Fredericksburg was renamed the Bass-Ellison Social Services Building, in honor of Bass and his fellow Fredericksburg citizen Dr. Richard C. Ellison.

This is a brick gateway, approximately 12 x 15 X 4 feet in size, erected by the Canby Memorial Association in memory of the veter­ans of the Spanish-American War and WWI. It was dedicated on No­vember 11,1930, and bears lists of the veterans of those two wars.

The inscription on this memorial reads:
So the posterity might enjoy the benefits of a public park preserved in its natural beauty, in 1927 Colonel Lea gave the original tract of 868 acres of this land to the city of Nashville requesting that the park near the name of his late father-in-law, the late Percy Warner.
Erected by officers who served under Colonel Lea in the 114th field artillery during the First World War.

After serving as a U.S. Senator from Tennessee from March 1911 to March 1917, Lea returned to Nashville and organized a volunteer military outfit which, on 6 Apr. 1917, became the First Tennessee Field Artillery. With the rank of lieutenant colonel, Luke Lea was its commander until 18 October when he became colonel of this regiment of the Thirtieth Division. An imposing military figure, colorful and daring, Lea led the all-volunteer regiment in many battles. During the lull just after the armistice and Kaiser Wilhelm's abdication, Lea and a group of younger officers made a bold trip to Holland to capture the Kaiser at his retreat. They got to the doorway of the retreat, but the coup attempt failed when the kaiser refused to turn himself over to Lea and his officers. The episode became an international incident, Holland protesting that its neutrality had been violated. Colonel Lea received the Distinguished Service Medal before his discharge on 12 April 1919.

IN MEMORY OF

HENRIETTA ISABELLA DRUMMOND

1892 - 1918

FIRST RHODE ISLAND WOMAN TO MAKE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE AS AN ARMY NURSE WITH THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES IN FRANCE DURING THE WORLD WAR

"SHE LAID HIM WITH THE DEAD AS SHE TURNED TO SOOTHE THE LIVING AND

BIND THE WOUNDS THAT BLED." WHITTIER

ERECTED IN 1937 BY HENRIETTA I. DRUMMOND POST & AUXILIARY, THE AMERICAN LEGION.

In the waning days of World War One, Henrietta Isabel Drummond, 25, of Pawtucket, RI, USA, made her way across the Atlantic Ocean to serve as a Red Cross nurse. Her parents were from Glasgow. 

"I am having a wonderful time here," she wrote to her mother from aboard the Balmoral Castle, "and it will be a trip to remember. " They were to be the last words that Jean Drummond would ever receive from her daughter.

Having graduated in 1917 from the St Joseph Hospital School of Nursing, in Providence, RI, Henrietta Drummond trained in South Carolina and then made the submarine-menaced voyage from New York to France, arriving on October 4, 1918.

Assigned to a hospital in Nevers, in central France, Drummond worked 15-hour days caring for soldiers who had been gassed, who had not eaten in days, who had lost arms and legs, whose wounds had been left to bleed. As the nursing went on, a piercing whistle would signal enemy planes overhead - the threat of attack was constant. (Shortly before Drummond's arrival, a shot from a long-distance gun had struck a maternity hospital, killing 50 babies.)

The other constant danger in the soldiers' hospital was infection. And indeed on October 10, just six days after her arrival and a month before the war's end, Henrietta Isabel Drummond died, of either typhoid fever or Spanish influenza.

This small triangle park became neglected and fell into disrepair. It was restored and rededicated in 1995 and then again in 2010. Today, the memorial has been nominated for both historic and landmark status.

Chicago Tribune news story dated March 30, 2011:
The memorial — which includes 11 names of Berwyn residents who died during the war — was donated by the Woman’s Club of Berwyn around 1919 and was placed in front of the old LaVergne School. The gray and brown boulder includes a square (bronze) metal plaque, with a green (oxidized patina) attached to the smooth side of the stone. It’s believed to be a glacier boulder that was found near the site in the late 19th century.

The inscription on the plaque reads:
IN MEMORY OF
JOHN BLASYK
LOUIS J. MATYSEK
S.P. CHAMPION
EDWARD F. MEYERS
CHARLES S. CLARK
WILLIAM S. PATTERSON
JOSEPH E. CRISMORE
JOSEPH TOMAJER
FREDERICK A. EMMS
CHARLES VOPENKA
JAMES H. WALTERS
WORLD WAR
1914 - 1918
BERWYN’S WOMENS CLUB

LaVergne School was demolished in 1938 to make way for a larger school about a block west of the memorial site. A former teacher at the new LaVergne School remembers that students and teachers would visit the site every Armistice Day. “The entire school would walk to the memorial and face the east at 11 o’clock, the time the armistice was signed (and took effect).” All of the individuals inscribed on the memorial died in service, from accidents, disease, wounds or were Killed In Action. Many are buried in France.

Ogden Avenue was the former historic Route 66 into Chicago. There is a new informational sign just to the west of the monument.
