Georgia Gordon Practice Rifle Rifles Weapons

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the height of American military preparation for the First World War. Taken at Camp Gordon, Georgia in either 1917 or 1918, the image shows a group of United States soldiers engaged in rigorous rifle training. The camp, established in 1917, was one of the largest military training facilities in the country, with over 50,000 soldiers passing through its gates before its closure in 1919. The soldiers in the photograph are seen in a focused and determined stance, each holding a rifle at the ready. Their uniforms are worn and weathered, a testament to the long hours of training they underwent in preparation for deployment to the European front. The rough terrain of the camp is evident in the background, with trees and scrubland providing a stark contrast to the orderly rows of soldiers. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its representation of the United States' entry into the First World War and the massive military mobilization that followed. With over 4.7 million men and women serving in the military by the war's end, Camp Gordon played a crucial role in the training and deployment of American troops. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers and the pivotal role that Camp Gordon played in American military history.
