EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment during World War I, as Margaret Murray Crumpacker, Commandant of the Women's Auxiliary for Naval Recruiting, addresses Navy recruits under the guns of the U.S.S. Recruit in Union Square, New York City. The U.S.S. Recruit was a fake battleship built by the Navy to recruit seamen and sell Liberty Bonds during this crucial time in American history.
The image showcases the dedication and patriotism of both men and women who answered the call to serve their country during wartime. The stark black and white contrast adds a sense of gravity to the scene, emphasizing the seriousness of their mission.
As we reflect on this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us to protect our freedom and uphold our values. It serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and commitment shown by these recruits as they prepared to embark on their journey into naval service.
This photograph is not just an image frozen in time; it is a testament to the strength and resilience of those who served their country with honor and pride.
