EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic postcard captures a group of soldiers during World War One at Verdun, France in July 1918. The image showcases Oscar Calmeise, positioned on the far right, alongside five other unidentified comrades. They are all seated atop a pile of stones, wearing their helmets and uniforms with pride. All six men gaze directly at the camera, exuding strength and determination. The handwritten caption to the right of the image reveals that this moment was captured while shells were passing overhead on Verdun Hill. This adds an intense layer of reality to the photograph, reminding us of the harsh conditions these brave soldiers endured during wartime. The back of the postcard remains unused but bears preprinted text indicating its purpose for correspondence. The makers mark in the center is barely legible, leaving behind an air of mystery surrounding its origin. This powerful snapshot not only serves as a historical artifact from World War One but also represents African American heritage within military history. It stands as a testament to their contributions and sacrifices made for their country. Preserved by unknown hands over time, this gelatin silver print holds immense cultural significance and now finds itself housed within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) in Washington D. C. , USA.
