EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "Home Guard - Organization of Government Clerks, D.C. 1917" by Harris & Ewing, captures a significant moment in American history. The image shows a large group of civil servants, mostly men, gathered together in a room, likely for a meeting or rally. The rear view of President Woodrow Wilson, seated at a table, adds an air of importance and authority to the scene. The Home Guard, also known as the Civilian Conservation Corps or the Citizen Soldier Detachment, was an organization formed in response to the growing tensions leading up to the United States' involvement in World War I. Its members were primarily young, unmarried men who were not able to join the military due to age or health restrictions. However, this photograph features government clerks, who were typically older and not eligible for military service. Their participation in the Home Guard demonstrates the widespread support for the war effort and the desire to contribute in any way possible. The photograph was taken by Harris & Ewing, a prominent Washington D.C. photography studio founded by George H. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in 1902. The studio produced a vast collection of images documenting American life during the early 20th century. This particular photograph is a glass negative, which was a common photographic process during this time period. The image is a testament to the patriotism and dedication of civil servants during a time of national crisis. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that ordinary citizens played in supporting their country during wartime.
