Mckennett WWI Letters/
Photos Donated To State
Historical Society
PIERRE, S.D. – The South Dakota State
Historical Society recently processed a
collection of World War I-era photographs
and letters written by Webster, S.D., native
Pvt. Herbert McKennett. The correspondence of more than 30 letters dates mainly
from 1916 and 1917.
McKennett was born July 25, 1894, to
Thomas and Dora McKennett of Webster.
He attended public school in Webster and
later moved to Canada to take a homestead.
At the onset of World War I in Europe,
McKennett enlisted in the Canadian Army.
As a private he was a member of the
Canadian Infantry (Manitoba Regiment)
27th Battalion. The collection includes an
11x15-inch photo of McKennett’s Canadian
battalion which went by the name “Canadian Black Devils.”

six inches of snow on the ground but the
snow sure has the rain beat by a long
ways … I got a letter from Harry and he
was saying he was getting to spend Christmas home. Well I spent Christmas Eve and

Christmas night on a machine gun post
between our front lines and Fritz [German
soldiers] and I don’t believe that I am very
likely to forget that Christmas night for
some time to come … with love to all Herb
McKennett.”
