**A Lasting Legacy: Lt. W.C. Peterson (1918)**
This poignant photograph print captures the solemn moment of Lieutenant William Chandler Peterson, a young American soldier who gave his life in service to his country during World War I. Taken by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's news agency, this black and white portrait is a powerful tribute to Lt. Peterson's bravery and sacrifice.
Born in 1894 in North Crystal Lake, Illinois, Lt. Peterson enlisted at the age of 24 and was killed in action on April 24, 1918. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and honors his memory for generations to come.
The Bain News Service's iconic image is not only a testament to their esteemed photographer but also a window into America's experience during this tumultuous period in history. As we reflect on Lt.
