WHO WE ARE
Our Roots
The PNW Great War found its origin during the centennial of the Great War. Many of founders had lifelong connection to the Great War, for some it was family history, some had long ago spoken to veterans who survived the war, yet all shared a common interest in the human experience of the conflict during a period of revolutionary technological development and dramatic historical events. After the centennial parades had ended we decided to continue the work that we had started. The PNW Great War is now a 501c3 educational non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining our links to the past through living history and public outreach.
