| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 1st edition, 1981, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 167: A bugler set the solemn tone as Auburn Daughters of the American Revolution honored "the boys who were killed in World War II" in a ceremony south of Samford Hall in April 1946. Soldiers stood at present arms, and a sergeant saluted near the tree planted in memory of the dead. Within the nearby chain enclosure, a bronze plaque placed in 1919 already memorialized Auburn men who gave their lives in World War I. ... Identifiable are DAR Regent Mollie Hollifield Jones, second from left; Lieutenant Colonel John E. "Boozer" Pitts, in khaki uniform with hand over heart; and API President L. N. Duncan, nearest bugler. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
