    A World War I historical reenactment taking place at what appears to be an American military cemetery, identifiable by the rows of white crosses in the background. Participants are dressed in period-accurate uniforms including French 'horizon blue' infantry uniforms with Adrian helmets, a British/American doughboy uniform, and a Red Cross nurse costume. A period-accurate field artillery piece, likely a French 75mm cannon, is displayed on the manicured grounds.

    The Vermont National Guard sent a contingency of five soldiers along with Maj. Gen. Steven Cray, adjutant general, Vermont National Guard, to France celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the end of World War I. Each state that had National Guard representation in World War I were invited back to France to celebrate the anniversary. National Guardsmen visited monuments, cemeteries, villages, battle sites, trenches, museums, and attended ceremonies as part of their visit. The Center for Military History provided guides throughout the trip.
