EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Military Field Mass By Holy Name Soc. of Roman Catholic Church, Corcoran Cadets, 1910," captures a moment of deep spiritual connection amidst the structured rigor of military life. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image depicts a religious gathering of Corcoran Cadets during the early 1910s in the United States. The scene unfolds on an open field, with rows of cadets standing at attention, their military uniforms crisp and pristine. At the center, a makeshift altar has been set up, where a priest, dressed in full vestments, leads the Mass. The cadets, heads bowed in prayer, display a sense of unity and devotion, their focus on their faith a stark contrast to the disciplined order of their daily military routine. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the intersection of religion and military life during this era. The Holy Name Society of the Roman Catholic Church, a confraternity dedicated to the Most Holy Name of God and Jesus, organized this outdoor Mass for the Corcoran Cadets, allowing them to maintain their religious practices despite their demanding training. The image stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the importance of spiritual nourishment, even in the most unexpected of settings. The photograph's timeless composition and the cadets' unwavering attention during the Mass create a poignant tableau that resonates with viewers today, reminding us of the enduring human need for connection, both to our faith and to one another.
