Veterans Day marks honoring service members. Barney Hubbs, 21, from Pecos, served in 1918 by printing an allied publication in Pauillac, France. He helped print 10,000 copies per issue, sold at 10 cents, with proceeds aiding 300 Belgian orphans near Pauillac.
Hubbs preserved a 1919 Pauillac Pilot recounting France’s Armistice Day celebrations. The article captures delirious crowds shouting Vive La France and Vive l America as bands played and torches lit Bordeaux streets. It notes allied unity, cosmopolitan crowds, and reflections that the war’s end was not to be forgotten.
