EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Captain Charles Albert Adams received a warm greeting from the Canadian Highlander regiments, known as the "Kilties," on board the U.S.S. Recruit in July 1917. The USS Recruit, a wooden mockup battleship located in Union Square, New York City, was used by the Navy during World War I to recruit seamen and promote the sale of Liberty Bonds.
Captain Adams, a distinguished U.S. naval officer, is seen engaging with members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force who were in New York to assist with recruitment efforts. The image reflects a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect between these military figures from different nations united in their common cause.
The photograph captured by Bain News Service beautifully encapsulates this significant moment in history, showcasing not only the meeting between Captain Adams and the Kilties but also providing a glimpse into life during wartime America in the early 20th century.
As we reflect on this powerful image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by individuals like Captain Adams and his fellow servicemen who bravely served their countries during times of conflict. Their legacy lives on through photographs like these that preserve their memory for future generations to appreciate and honor.
