EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Camp, 1917 or 1918" by Harris & Ewing, captures a group of American men in various stages of military training at an army camp during the First World War. The image, part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the daily life and camaraderie of soldiers during this pivotal period in history. The men in the photograph are dressed in military uniforms, some wearing bib overalls or dungarees, known as chinos in military parlance. They are seen digging in the earth, likely as part of their training drills. The outdoor setting, with the vast expanse of the camp in the background, underscores the sense of community and purpose that bound these men together. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a renowned photographic studio based in Washington D.C., which was known for its high-quality glass negatives. The studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze (later married to Martha Ewing Newcombe), was a leading supplier of photographs to Congress and other government agencies. This image, like many others in their collection, serves as an invaluable record of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of the First World War era. The photograph's timeless appeal lies in its ability to transport us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of ordinary men who, in extraordinary times, rose to the challenge and made history.
