EDITORS COMMENTS
- A poignant moment in time captured by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain of the U.S. Army transport ship USS Meade, docked at an unidentified port during World War I. The photograph shows a steady stream of soldiers disembarking from the vessel onto the quayside, their faces set with determination as they begin their journey to unknown destinations. The image is a powerful testament to the human cost of war, highlighting both the bravery and vulnerability of those serving in uniform. As part of Bain News Service's extensive archive, this photograph provides a unique glimpse into life during wartime America, when patriotism and duty were paramount. In 1914, as global tensions escalated leading up to World War I, American involvement was still uncertain. This image serves as a poignant reminder that even before the United States officially entered the conflict in April 1917, its military presence abroad was already being felt. The USS Meade itself played an important role during this period, serving as a transport ship for troops and supplies between Europe and America. Today, "Loading MEADE (1914)" stands as a powerful historical artifact, offering insight into both the American experience of World War I and the enduring legacy of George Grantham Bain's remarkable photography.
