CONWAY — Nov. 11 marks the 100th anniversary of the declaration of the cease-fire that ended World War I, with the armistice signed on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to end “the War to End All Wars.”

As the country observes Veterans Day on Sunday (see related story on local observances), two New Hampshire historians this week reflected on local connections to the four-year conflict that was surpassed in absolute devastation only by World War II 20 years later.
