Camp Meade, Maryland - Winter Views, 1917: A Chilling Scene of Soldiers at Play This evocative photograph, titled 'Camp Meade, Maryland - Winter Views, 1917,' captures a moment in time during the First World War, as soldiers take a break from their duties to enjoy the winter season. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, this image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of an American army camp during the early 20th century. The scene is set against the backdrop of a snow-covered Camp Meade, located in Maryland, United States. The winter landscape is dotted with military tents, barracks, and other camp structures, all blanketed in a pristine layer of snow. In the foreground, a group of soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are engaged in a lively snowball fight. Their laughter and playful banter are palpable, despite the frozen surroundings. The photograph, taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, is a testament to the human spirit and camaraderie that prevailed even in the harshest of conditions. The image is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection, housed at the Library of Congress. This collection, which includes over 20,000 glass negatives, provides a rich visual record of American history during the early 1900s. The soldiers' clothing, with heavy coats and woolen hats, speaks to the harsh winter weather that was a stark contrast to the trenches of the Western Front. The image offers a poignant reminder of the human element of war, as these men, far from the battlefield, momentarily set aside their military roles to engage in a simple, yet enjoyable pastime.
