November 13, 2007: WWI Soldier Formation Photos I know they're a few days late for Veteran's Day, but these just arrived in my email today. The accompanying information says they were taken by Arthur S. Mole and John D. Thomas, during and just after WWI. This shield image was one of the largest of their series, made up of about 30,000 sailors and soldiers from Camp Custer in Battle Creek, Michigan. glatt Tuesday Nov 13 04:31 PM Those are incredible shots! I thought there had to be something off about them, so I Googled the names. They seem to be totally legit. Quote:
