Lincoln Castle Curtain Wall and Tower, Lincoln, England, WWI Era

Lincoln Castle, a Norman fortification dating to 1068, appears here as photographed by an American serviceman during World War I. Personnel stationed in England often used off-duty time to visit historic sites, and this image reflects the blending of military service abroad with an appreciation for centuries-old European history and architecture.
