EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment in American history as troops march through the streets on their farewell journey to war training camp in 1917. The United States had just declared war against Germany, and these brave men were leaving behind their families and loved ones to join the fight for freedom.
In April of that year, America's standing army consisted of 127,500 officers and soldiers who were ready to serve their country with honor and courage. The image showcases the determination and resolve of these enlisted men as they prepare to embark on a journey that would test their strength and resilience.
As they make their way towards the training camp, you can see the sense of duty etched on their faces, knowing that they are answering the call to defend liberty and justice. This photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served during World War I, fighting alongside allies in a military alliance that would change the course of history.
The sight of these American troops leaving for war training camp is both somber and inspiring, highlighting the bravery and patriotism that defined this generation. Their legacy lives on in our hearts as we remember their service and sacrifice for our nation.
