Description
In 2017, the University of Central Florida was one of three universities selected to launch the National Cemetery Administration’s <a href="https://vlp.cah.ucf.edu/">Veterans Legacy Program Project</a>. The program engaged a team of scholars to make the life stories of veterans buried in the Florida National Cemetery available to the public. The project engages UCF students in research and writing and fosters collaboration between students, faculty and local Central Florida schools to produce interactive curriculum for k-12 students. The corresponding website exhibit uses RICHES Mosaic Interface to create a digital archive of related data. The public can use the project-developed augmented-reality app at more than 100 gravesites at the Florida National Cemetery, where they can access the UCF student-authored biographies of veterans.

Abstract of Military Service for Carl Oscar Anderson
Alternative Title
Abstract of World War I Military Service
Subject
World War, 1914-1918
Veterans--Florida
Description
The abstract of military service for Carl Oscar Anderson (1893-1918). The card includes Anderson's name, age, race, serial number, place of birth, unit and ranks, death date and cause
and who was notified of his death. In this case, Anderson's father received the news.<br /><br /> Carl Oscar Anderson was born on March 3, 1893 in Orlando, Florida to parents Axel and Augusta. He was the third of five children. Around 1913, the family moved to Miami, Florida, where Anderson found work at Melrose Dairy. On June 5, 1917, he registered for the draft, and on October 6, 1917, he was inducted into the United States Army. Throughout his service, Anderson maintained the rank of private as he served in multiple units in his first eight months. Then, on June 20, 1918, he departed for France and became part of Company B of the 30th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Division. He and his unit likely participated in the Battle of Meuse-Argonne. On October 3, 1918, Anderson was killed in action, likely during the advance to Bois de Beuge. His legacy lives on, memorialized on the Lake Eola Tablet in downtown Orlando.<br /><br /> In 2017, the University of Central Florida was one of three universities selected to launch the National Cemetery Administration’s <a href="https://vlp.cah.ucf.edu/">Veterans Legacy Program Project</a>.
