Gallery: PHOTOGRAPHS
Formal studio portraits of two American soldiers of the First World War, including Private Willis W. Wagener and Franz Appleman of Clermont, Iowa, in standard-issue campaign hats, wool service coats, and wound puttees. Preserved within Wagener's personal wartime correspondence, they show the keepsake portraits citizen-soldiers sent home before training camp and deployment overseas.
