The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 3
Taken by an American serviceman linked to Scott Field, these First World War negatives follow the sights of wartime England, from St Paul's Cathedral seen across the Thames and Marble Arch to the medieval walls of Lincoln Castle and Cathedral. Depot yards stacked with entrenching tools, a requisitioned steam trawler, and troops boarding a Rhine river steamer set the sightseeing against the machinery of the war.
