EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in American history during World War I. Taken in September 1917, the image shows American recruits heading to Camp Upton, a U.S. Army installation on Long Island, New York. The men are dressed in their civilian clothes as they prepare to embark on their journey, showcasing the fashion of the early 20th century.
The group of recruits is seen boarding a train at the railway station, symbolizing their departure from civilian life to join the military camp. The image conveys a sense of patriotism and duty as these men leave behind their families and homes to serve their country during wartime.
Photographed by George Graham Bain for Bain News Service, this historical snapshot provides a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in World War I. The detailed composition and expressions on the faces of the recruits evoke emotions of anticipation and determination.
As we reflect on this poignant moment captured over a century ago, we honor the bravery and commitment of these soldiers who answered the call to defend our nation. This print is not just an image but a piece of living history that continues to resonate with us today.
