The Item: This is a crisp, original 100+ year old photograph from the World War I era. 14537 Title: Authentic WWI Era US Doughboys Training Camp Snapshot Size: 3" x 2.5" Date: Circa 1917-1918 The Item: This is a crisp, original 100+ year old photograph from the World War I era. It depicts a candid moment of American soldiers (Doughboys) at a stateside training cantonment. The men are seen in their M1911 "Montana Peak" service hats, relaxing on standard-issue iron barracks cots that have been moved outdoors—a common practice during the hot summer training months before deployment. Research Potential: The reverse of the photo is handwritten in pencil: "Walter" and "12." * Identification: The name "Walter" makes this a great candidate for genealogical or military research. Unit Clue: The "12" could likely refers to the 12th Division (the Plymouth Division) or Company 12 of a major training camp (such as Camp Devens or Camp Dodge). Condition: Excellent vintage condition for its age. It has a small, authentic corner chip on the bottom left and light "silvering" (toning) typical of early 20th-century silver gelatin prints. This wear proves its age and authenticity. Condition: Used. Category: Collectibles › Photographic Images › Photographs.
