EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, depicting a significant moment in the United States' military preparations. The creator of this evocative image remains unknown, but it was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 1" by L'Illustration, a renowned French publication. The photograph captures the wintery scene of a railway tunnel in Massachusetts, where sentries are being relieved. The railway and works of art were protected during this period, ensuring their preservation amidst the chaos of war. The image encapsulates the sense of heightened alertness and preparedness as the United States Army readied itself for the impending conflict. The scene is set against a backdrop of wintry conditions, with snow covering the ground and the tunnel entrance, adding to the somber and serious atmosphere. The soldiers, bundled up against the cold, stand guard, their expressions focused and determined. The railway tracks stretch out into the distance, symbolizing the vital role transportation played in the war effort. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the early stages of the United States' involvement in the First World War, highlighting the importance of infrastructure, military preparedness, and the sacrifices made by the soldiers on the home front. It serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in history, captured through the lens of an unknown photographer.
