EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Troops In Training, 1917," captures a poignant moment in American history as crowds gather to bid farewell to soldiers boarding a train for deployment to the front lines of the First World War. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C., vividly conveys the sense of anticipation, anxiety, and determination that marked the beginning of the United States' involvement in the conflict. The photograph shows a steam train filled with uniformed soldiers, many of them young men, waving to their loved ones and friends as they prepare to leave for basic training. The train tracks stretch out into the distance, symbolizing the long journey ahead for these brave individuals. The crowd, composed of women and men, young and old, is a testament to the collective spirit of sacrifice and support for the troops. The photograph was taken during the early stages of the war, when the United States Congress declared war on Germany on April 6, 1917. The image is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the social, political, and cultural history of the United States during the 20th century. The photographers, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, expertly captured the emotions and energy of the scene, making it a powerful and enduring image of American history.
