HISTORICAL SKETCH The American War Mothers is a 501(c)4 non-profit, non-political, and non-partisan organization. The goal of its members is to engage in patriotic work and assist those who served and were wounded. Its members are mothers of children who have served or are serving in the Armed Forces during a time of conflict. Originally, this was limited to mothers of children serving between the dates of April 6, 1917 and November 11, 1918, but this was soon amended due to WWII and the Korean Conflict to include any future wars. The American War Mothers began as a group of women with children fighting in WWI that came together through their efforts working on the Food Conservation Committee and the State Council of Indiana. In August 1917, Don Herald of the State Food Commission attended a meeting of the Woman's Civic League in Indianapolis in hopes of persuading a woman to push ahead the food conservation program in Indiana. Alice French (1863-1934) of Indiana was chosen and initiated a circulating letter campaign aimed at women with children in the Armed Forces. Her idea of convincing these "War Mothers" to pledge to conserve wheat, meat, fats and sugar was supposedly inspired by her attorney son's enlistment in the army. Indiana Food Commissioner, Dr. Harry C. Barnhard, was so impressed with her letter that he forwarded it to Washington, D.C.; authorities there soon sent back a telegram requesting French to "mobilize" her War Mothers. The American War Mothers was officially founded on September 29, 1917, and French became their first national president. By February 24, 1925, the organization became incorporated through an act of Congress (Public Law 453). The Indiana Chapter was organized first and incorporated on May 18, 1918. The first National Convention of War Mothers took place in Indianapolis on August 15, 1918. After the war, the group continued its efforts to aid soldiers. One of the group s most notable accomplishments was the establishment in 1926 of the American War Mothers National Memorial Home to provide food and shelter for families visiting Fitzsimmons Veteran Hospital near Denver, Colorado. The group also had a postage stamp devoted to it in 1934. French was very enthusiastic about forming an International War Mothers modeled after the League of Nations and traveled extensively throughout the United States and Europe to encourage methods of addressing differences other than bloodshed. Sources: Taken and adapted from Indiana Historical Society Collection Guides: American War Mothers Records, 1973-2015 (BV5243-5247) and Alice Moore French papers, ca. 1865-1941 (M 0458) Indiana Historical Society American War Mothers, Indiana Chapter Page 2
