EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Lasting Legacy: Corp. W.O. Gorner's Unwavering Spirit**
In this poignant portrait taken in 1917 or 1918, Corporal William O. Gorner of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania stands tall and proud, his eyes fixed on a distant horizon as if still marching towards the battlefields where he ultimately gave his life during World War I.
Captured by Bain News Service's renowned photographer George Grantham Bain, this black-and-white print is not only a testament to the enduring power of photography but also an intimate glimpse into the lives of those who served on behalf of their country. Gorner's uniform and solemn expression convey a sense of duty and sacrifice that continues to resonate with us today.
As part of the Library of Congress's Bain News Service Photograph Collection, this image serves as a poignant reminder not only of the human cost of war but also the indelible mark left by those who served their nation. In Gorner's case, his legacy lives on through this powerful portrait that continues to inspire and honor all those who have given their last full measure in service to others.
