Windmill in the English Countryside, WWI-era Negative, England

This atmospheric landscape image, from the Scott Field-England negative collection, captures a traditional English windmill glimpsed through winter hedgerows and fencing. Likely photographed by an American serviceman stationed in England during World War I, the image reflects the quieter, pastoral side of wartime service abroad — a moment of English countryside preserved alongside the collection's military records.
