World War I Staff Cars

I went to a toy fair the other day and was able to pick up some reasonable priced World War I era cars.  They were not in their original packaging, but I believe that they were made by High Speed and were given away as part of a Reader's Digest promotion.  

1906 Rolls Royce (I believe - it could also be a Pierce Arrow)

Indianapolis War Memorial

Went to the Indiana War Memorial.  General John Pershing laid the cornerstone of the memorial on July 4, 1927, saying he was "consecrating the edifice as a patriotic shrine".

Indiana War Memorial

This is the Shrine Room, built to honor the veterans of World War I.  It is clad in materials from all of the allied countries.
