Two U.S. Army Soldiers in Service Uniform, Forest Setting, Early 20th Century (WWI/Interwar Era)
Two soldiers pose in U.S. Army service dress within a stand of tall conifers, backlit by low sunlight. Their uniforms -- Montana-peak campaign hats, Sam Browne belts, breeches, and laced field boots -- are characteristic of the World War I and interwar U.S. Army rather than the World War II period, suggesting this photograph predates the album's principal Pacific War narrative and may depict an earlier family member's military service.
