Gallery: Part 1
American servicemen of the First World War appear here in group portraits and candid camp scenes, posing with small box respirator gas masks, washing mess kits outside barracks huts, and standing among bell tents in France. Linking Scott Field, Illinois with wartime negatives from England, these images preserve the training, equipment, and everyday camaraderie behind the American Expeditionary Forces.
