EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Fort Slocum in 1917, showcasing the shacks built for draft men during World War I. The housing constructed for soldiers at this military post on Davids' Island in New Rochelle, New York, served as a crucial recruiting station during this tumultuous time in history.
The image exudes a sense of nostalgia and historical significance, transporting us back to a bygone era when young men were called upon to serve their country. The barracks stand tall against the backdrop of a simpler time, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who answered the call to arms.
As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the bravery and dedication of those who once occupied these humble dwellings. Each shack tells a story of resilience and camaraderie among troops preparing to face an uncertain future on the battlefield.
Through the lens of George Graham Bain and his Bain News Service, we are granted a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history. This image serves as a poignant reminder of our nation's proud military heritage and honors all those who have served with honor and valor.
