Recording by: Lien, Tammy

 

This is a talk by Joseph Ribinger, a World War I veteran, given to a group commemorating Armistice Day in 1984. Ribinger was in the Battle of the Argonne on the front lines. He later landed in Paris on Armistice Day in 1918 (en route to a commission exam), and describes the atmosphere of celebration. Ribinger also happened to be the very last man in World War I to be examined for a commission. This recording was made for a History 499 course at San Diego State University.
