Three captured German field guns sit staged along a cobblestone street outside a large brick building, likely awaiting public exhibition. In the aftermath of the November 1918 Armistice, the U.S. War Department shipped captured enemy ordnance to cities across the country, including Cincinnati, Ohio, where local citizens could view these trophies as tangible evidence of Allied victory. This photograph, part of a numbered documentary series, captures the guns' arrival or staging before display. Project: 218708
