A young American soldier relaxes beneath a pine tree at a World War I training camp, dressed in the campaign hat, service coat, and leggings typical of the U.S. Army in 1917-1918. Rows of canvas tents in the background mark this as one of the many hastily built cantonments where millions of draftees and volunteers trained before deployment to France. This candid portrait, preserved in a personal photo album, captures a quiet moment amid the mobilization for the Great War. Project: 218653
