Five Questions for Keith Colley, proprietor of the Mobile WWI Museum

Objects on display will include an authentic trenching tool of the type used to dig the 25,000 miles of trenches dug during the War, and one of the first portable movie cameras used by soldiers to record battlefield scenes.  Other artifacts in the ten separate display booths include vintage panoramic photographs of some of America’s first Aero Squadrons, an authentic 48-star flag, and many personal equipment items from the War’s combatants.

Colley’s collection soon grew to more than 200 war-related documents and artifacts inspiring the idea to take the museum on the road. The plan is to tour the museum for the duration of the 100th anniversary of World War I, which began in 1914 and concluded in 1918. After that, Colley said he will either find a permanent home for the museum or continue making mobile appearances depending on demand.
