The pictures above are not actually from a memorial day celebration, they are from an “americanization” class (in Portland, 1924) that was commonly given in elementary schools through the 50’s, especially in communities with large immigrant populations. Below, memorial day parades: civil war veterans with boy scouts in Portland in 1941, Westbrook 1940, Deer Isle 1940, Springville 1900 (civil war vets), and Lubec 1908-10.
