EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in Paris around 1919, two distinguished American army officers, Major General James Guthrie Harbord and Brigadier General Charles Gates Dawes, stand before a large poster bearing the slogan "We Deliver The Goods SOS." Both men are dressed in their full military uniforms, exuding an air of authority and determination. At the time of this image, Harbord served as the Chief of the United States Army's Services of Supply (SOS), responsible for overseeing the logistical support of American troops during World War I. Dawes, on the other hand, was a decorated brigadier general and would later make history as the 30th Vice President of the United States from 1925 to 1929. He was also a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1925 for his role in negotiating the Dawes Plan, which helped stabilize the German economy after World War I. Following his tenure as Vice President, Dawes served as the American Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1929 to 1932. The poster behind the generals, with its bold and confident message, underscores the crucial role the SOS played in delivering essential supplies to the troops, ultimately contributing to the Allied victory in the war. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in history, with two influential American military figures standing together in a city that would soon become the backdrop for the post-war peace negotiations.
