This album page memorializes Joe C. Zingg of San Jose, California, who enlisted in Company F, 13th Infantry on August 28, 1918, and trained at Camp Mills, New York -- a major embarkation depot for troops bound for France. A former employee of the local Mercury Herald newspaper, Zingg's hometown paper ran his portrait alongside a brief service notice, which his family clipped and preserved alongside candid snapshots taken at home before his departure.
