EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures General John J. Pershing (1860-1948), the esteemed American army officer, during his tenure as commander of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) in the First World War. Here, Pershing is seen in the company of another officer, most likely in France between the years 1917 and 1918. The General's imposing presence is accentuated by his full military regalia, including his distinctive overcoat, cap, and the insignia of his rank adorning his collar and cuffs. The American flag emblazoned on his shoulder is a testament to his unwavering loyalty and dedication to his country. Known as "Black Jack" due to his dark hair and penchant for playing cards, Pershing was a highly respected military leader, both in the United States and abroad. His strategic acumen and leadership were instrumental in the successes of the AEF during the Great War, making him a symbol of American military prowess in the early 20th century.
