This year marks the 100th anniversary of some of the most devastating battles of World War I.
This Thursday at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, there’ll be a lecture on trench warfare during what was once known as The Great War.
Mark DePue is a historian at the museum and a specialist in American and military history. He spoke with our reporter Brian Mackey.
