Group Portrait of Four Soldiers at a U.S. Army Training Camp, World War I
Four soldiers pose together at a U.S. Army training camp during World War I, their campaign hats and wool uniforms typical of American recruits mobilized between 1917 and 1918. Group portraits like this one, taken amid rows of canvas tents, were common keepsakes soldiers sent home or kept in personal albums, documenting the bonds of friendship formed during training before deployment overseas.
