This candid photograph, part of a collection of WWI-era negatives linking Scott Field, Illinois to wartime England and France, captures a lighter, everyday moment far from the front lines. A young woman poses on a neighborhood swing set, dressed in the fashion of the late 1910s. Photographs like this, taken by American servicemen during off-duty hours, offer a personal counterpoint to official combat imagery, documenting the communities and civilians they encountered while stationed overseas during the First World War.
