Norwich City Historian Dale Plummer has connected the dots meticulously to make a solid connection between National Doughnut Day Saturday and the effort to resume fundraising to restore the city’s World War I howitzer and create a lasting memorial to local soldiers of that war.
Plummer, chairman of the WWI Memorial Committee, recalled seeing a restored WWI field stove in operation at a re-enactment event and thought it might be interesting to bring that to Norwich. He learned that National Doughnut Day is June 5 and that it’s origins are rooted in the work by organizations to boost morale of U.S. troops fighting in France from 1917-18.
