EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history as American soldiers bid farewell to Fort Slocum, New York in 1917. The image showcases a group of brave servicemen aboard a boat, embarking on their journey during World War I. Fort Slocum, located on Davids Island in New Rochelle, served as a vital recruitment station for the United States military during this tumultuous time. With the declaration of war against Germany in April 1917, these soldiers eagerly boarded the vessel with excitement and anticipation. The photograph exudes patriotism and unity as these young men proudly wear their uniforms while waving goodbye to loved ones left behind. Their faces reflect both determination and apprehension as they set sail towards an unknown future. As troop ships played a crucial role in transporting soldiers across vast distances during wartime, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who answered their nation's call to duty.
