U.S. Army Soldier in Service Uniform with Springfield Rifle, WWI Era, c. 1917-1918
A young American soldier stands for a formal portrait in full field uniform, holding his Springfield rifle. His campaign hat, wool service coat, and canvas puttees are typical of the U.S. Army 'doughboy' during World War I, likely photographed at a domestic training camp before deployment overseas, circa 1917-1918.
