EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures General George Barnett of the United States Marine Corps intently testing the Colt Automatic Machine Gun at the Marine Corps Rifle Range in Winthrop, Maryland, in 1917. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, documents a pivotal moment in military history as the United States prepared for its entry into the First World War. General Barnett, dressed in full military regalia, is seen focusing intently on the gun's sights, with a determined expression on his face. Behind him, a group of soldiers and sailors observe the test, some with expressions of awe and others with looks of concentration. The gun, a Lewis Gun manufactured by Colt, is mounted on a tripod and belches smoke with each burst of fire. The Marine Corps Rifle Range in Winthrop, Maryland, was an essential training ground for American military personnel during the early 20th century. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the technological advancements and military training methods of the era. The image is part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents American life and history during the 1910s and beyond.
