EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the era of World War I with this print from Holt's Battlefields Collection. The scene depicts a beflagged Uncle Sam blowing a bugle outside a Recruiting Office, with a sign boldly proclaiming "Recruits Wanted" and an armed soldier standing guard.
In the foreground, a small boy stands in awe in front of the dominant figure of Uncle Sam, holding up a US flag proudly. His wistful expression seems to convey his longing to grow up quickly and join the ranks of those fighting for their country.
The year is circa 1917, during the tumultuous period of WWI when patriotism ran high and young men were eager to answer their nation's call to arms. This image captures the spirit of wartime America, with its sense of duty and sacrifice permeating every aspect of society.
As you gaze at this powerful photograph, you can almost hear the sound of the bugle echoing through the streets, calling out for brave souls to enlist and defend their homeland. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by previous generations in times of conflict, urging us never to forget their courage and valor.
