The Snapshots in Time Collection
Man in Military-Style Field Dress Standing on Granite Outcrop, Willis Wagener Photo Collection, 1921
A young veteran, likely Private Willis W. Wagener or a member of his travel party, poses atop a granite outcrop during a 1921 outing. Still dressed in the field uniform of his wartime service, he represents the generation of American doughboys who returned home from World War I and continued to find camaraderie and adventure in the great outdoors. Personal snapshots like this one offer an intimate glimpse into the post-Armistice lives of the men who served. Project: 218161
