EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "American University Training Camp - Misc. Views, 1917," captures the essence of the United States' preparations for the First World War. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, depicts a group of soldiers at American University in Washington D.C., engaged in various training activities. In the foreground, a soldier is seen digging in the dirt, likely practicing trench warfare techniques. Behind him, other soldiers are seen in the distance, gathered around what appears to be a makeshift lecture hall or barracks. The exterior setting of the university campus provides a stark contrast to the wartime scene unfolding within it. The photograph was taken during the 1910s, a critical period in American history as the country prepared to enter the First World War. The Harris & Ewing Collection, which includes this photograph, is an extensive archive of glass negatives and still images documenting life in the United States during the early 20th century. The collection, created by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze, was later acquired by the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. for preservation and research purposes. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of the men who served in the U.S. military during this time. Their determined expressions and focused demeanor convey the gravity of the situation and the importance of their role in the war effort. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during wartime, and the vital role that education and training played in preparing the United States for the challenges of the First World War.
