EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Marine Corps Rifle Range, Lewis Machine Gun Tests, 1917," captures a pivotal moment in the history of the United States military during the First World War. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a group of Marines intently focusing on their targets at the Lewis Rifle Range. In the background, a machine gun crew is seen testing and adjusting their weapon, as smoke rises from the firing position. The scene is a testament to the dedication and training of the American armed forces during this critical period. The Marines, dressed in their uniforms, demonstrate their marksmanship skills, their expressions determined and focused. The machine gun crew, composed of men in heavy coats and caps, work diligently to ensure the accuracy and reliability of their weapon. The photograph was taken at a time when the United States was gearing up for its entry into the First World War. The Lewis Gun, a British-designed machine gun that was adopted by the US military, was a crucial addition to the American arsenal. The tests at the Lewis Rifle Range were essential in ensuring that the Marines were well-equipped and prepared for the battles to come. The photograph, which is part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the American military during the First World War. The image captures the essence of a pivotal moment in history, as the country prepared to join the global conflict and defend its interests on the world stage.
