EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time between c1915 and c1920, during the tumultuous era of World War I. The image depicts a group of men riding a train, likely on their way to Camp Upton located at Yaphank on Long Island, Suffolk County, New York. Camp Upton served as a crucial training ground for soldiers during the war.
The black and white composition exudes a sense of patriotism and camaraderie as the men cheerfully embark on their journey, dressed in military uniforms and civilian attire. Their direct gazes towards the camera convey determination and optimism despite the uncertainties of war.
As they bid farewell to loved ones at the railway station, there is an air of both excitement and apprehension surrounding their departure. The image captures a poignant moment in American history when young men answered the call to enlist in service to their country.
This photograph by Bain News Service is not just a visual record but also serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifice, duty, and honor displayed by these brave individuals during one of the most challenging periods in modern history.
