One and a half years after the United States entered the war, the Armistice put an end to the battle at 11:00 a.m. on November 11, 1918. Rochester artist and soldier, John C. Wenrich, documented the hillside where he and his battalion "stopped" at the moment the Armistice called an end to the brutal and bloody war.
