EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1918, showcases the Camp Custer Military Bands during the First World War. The image, from the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, depicts a group of soldiers, both men and women, dressed in their military uniforms, gathered around various musical instruments. The military camp, located in Michigan, was known for its impressive musical ensembles, which provided entertainment for the soldiers and boosted morale during their training. The photograph, which is believed to have been taken by an unknown photographer, captures the essence of the era, with the soldiers' determined expressions and the crisp, clean lines of their uniforms. The women in the photograph, dressed in practical yet feminine apparel, add a touch of elegance and grace to the otherwise rugged scene. The Camp Custer Military Bands were an essential part of the military experience during this time, with many soldiers having the opportunity to learn an instrument and perform in the bands. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of music and the arts in the daily life of a military camp during the First World War. The Harris Ewing Collection, which includes over 40,000 glass negatives, provides a wealth of historical information about the early 20th century in America. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to the resilience and determination of the soldiers during a time of great upheaval and change. The Camp Custer Military Bands not only provided entertainment but also served as a reminder of the importance of community and unity during a time of war.
