World War in Lowell, MA

I became interested in the World War while researching my husband's family genealogy.  His grandfather returned from the war, a decorated hero who became very active in American Legion and veteran affairs for the state.  I also found that his maternal grandfather's cousin never returned from the war and is buried in France.  He has a square that is named for him in the Collinsville section of Dracut - Costello Square.

There are at least 46 squares in the greater Lowell area that have been named for men who died during the great war.  Some of these squares/playgrounds no longer exist or may have been moved.  More investigation is needed.

My goal is that these heroes should not be forgotten.
