  • Description
  • Infantrymen stand in a line, drilling with their rifles. Their leader stands with his back to the photographer. One man in the middle of the line stands with his feet wide apart, not in the same position as the rest of his company. The photo was taken after the mock battle, which took place for Labor Day 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.
