Title Organ
Description Portable organ used by Charles Atkinson Bull of the Young Men’s Christian Association (Y.M.C.A.). Staffed primarily by volunteers, the Y.M.C.A. provided a wide variety of religious and entertainment activities for American troops. Bull, a prominent gospel singer in St. Louis, took this organ to France in March 1918 where he entertained American troops for eight months. The organ was donated to the Immanuel Baptist Church in St. Louis after the war.
