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.

Some other patriotic formations they created:

The white accents in the eagle are uniformed nurses.

And finally, a victory shot, taken in January 1919.
