EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Brigadier General Eli Kelley Cole decorating marines at Parris Island, South Carolina on June 10, 1918. As the commanding officer of Marine Barracks during World War I, Gen. Cole is seen awarding a military decoration to a soldier in this historic moment.
The image exudes a sense of pride and honor as the marines stand tall and attentive while receiving their well-deserved recognition from their leader. The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to the scene, emphasizing the gravity of the occasion.
Gen. Cole's distinguished presence and the solemn atmosphere of the ceremony are palpable through this snapshot frozen in time. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men during one of America's most challenging periods.
As we gaze upon this piece of history captured by Bain News Service, we are reminded of the courage and dedication displayed by those who served our country with valor. This photograph not only documents an important event but also pays tribute to all those who have selflessly defended our nation throughout its history.
