Post History
Smith Wynn VFW Post 96 was mustered in on March 15th, 1921 with forty-two members. After World War II, in 1949, there were 1040 members. It is the oldest Post in Alabama.
In 2017 the members of Post 96 approved the consolidation of the Post with another Montgomery VFW Post, Arthur W. Ansley Post 4176.
The Smith Wynn VFW Post 96 in Montgomery, Alabama is named after two World War I soldiers who were killed in action in the Chateau-Thierry region of France on July 26th and July 28th, 1918. (WWI burial cards show that, as a result of wounds received on July 26th, PFC John F. Smith died on July 28th, 1918).
The two soldiers were Private First-Class John Ferrell Smith (Born Jan 16, 1900), of then, 1311 S. Court St. in Montgomery and Corporal Rush P. Wynn (Enlisted: 8/6/1917), of then, 1208 Madison Avenue in Montgomery.
