Uniformed Man and Woman in Close Portrait Before Trophy Gun, WWI War Exposition, [Cincinnati, Ohio], 1918 (Companion to Image No. 11)
A closer view of the same uniformed pair seen in a companion photograph, standing before the elevating mechanism of a large trophy field gun. Details of their matching wartime service dress - tailored wool jackets, Sam Browne belts, and garrison caps - reflect the uniformed presentation expected of hosts and volunteers at World War I War Exposition displays organized to support Liberty Loan fundraising.
