  • Description
  • The public watches while infantrymen march in lines. A little boy sits right in front of the photographer, hands covering his ears- the noise from the rifles must have been too loud for this young Oakmonter. Infantrymen and the public join together for this mock battle on Labor Day in 1918. Luckily, many of these soldiers probably never saw battle- this photograph was taken in September 1918 and Germany surrendered on Armistice Day, November 11 1918.
