Forgotten Memorial

Brooklyn, NY - Peter - Thursday, July 14th, 2005 : goo

[previous] :: [next]

Immediately following WW1, trees were planted along Eastern Parkway to memorialize the locals who died in in the war.

Bronze plaques were placed at the base of each tree, with the particular name of a fallen fighter...

But then the trees died or were cut down in the wake of public-works projects, their lush beds now filled with gravel, broken glass and trash...

This plaque was dedicated to some long-forgotten, long-dead army private from another generation.

Now, even the plaque is gone.

How quickly we forget...

Peter: 15th Jul 2005 - 14:02 GMT

ariel: this article is very freaky

elaine: suitably abject photo :-(

Peter: 8th Nov 2005 - 17:17 GMT

yep, this is about as abject as they come.

there are a series of like 25 of these tree-less placques around my neighborhood in brooklyn. i keep meaning to get all of them captured in photos.

they deserve at least some sort of recognition, you know...?

elaine: i do, and i agree.

I appreciate your posting this photo. I'm looking for the plaque for a great uncle, Henry Goodman, who I believe was killed in France 2 weeks before the end of WW I. He was a lawyer in Washington, DC but I think was actually from Brooklyn, like most of my family. Any idea how I'd locate his tree? Thanks for any info. RLG in West Virginia

I've seen the Henry Goodman plaque, being that I'm on the look-out for Jewish veterans. I know it's between Kingston Avenue and Grand Army Plaza. Should I contact you if I find it?

Peter: yes please! peter@ citynoise.org
