Military Day


Today we visit the troops in a variety of settings.  We'll start with a Signal Corps photo of a mobile shower unit.  The leggings and the architecture make me think WWI France.

  1. I would agree, Jerry, although I can't quite put my finger on it. I think it is probably in the North-East perhaps heading into the Champagne.

    1. I believe there were Americans stationed in the Northeast of France, so that makes sense. I did a term paper on WWI at university and still remember bits of it.

  2. A 1919 document listing Signal Corps photos includes photo #19098, so it is certainly World War I. The photo is listed under "miscellaneous" for the 26th Infantry Division, known as the Yankee Division. It indeed served in northeast France.
