EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic Parade of the 308th Infantry on February 4, 1918, as they marched down Fifth Avenue in New York City. The soldiers are seen passing by the iconic New York Public Library, with a reviewing stand set up for spectators to bid farewell to these brave men heading off to Europe during World War I.
The image is rendered in striking black and white, emphasizing the solemnity and gravity of the moment as these American troops prepared to embark on their journey overseas. The sight of these uniformed soldiers marching in unison serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during this tumultuous period in history.
George Graham Bain, renowned for his press photography work capturing significant events of his time, skillfully immortalized this scene through his lens. His glass negative has preserved this snapshot from over a century ago, allowing us to glimpse into a pivotal moment in America's military history.
As we reflect on this powerful image, we are reminded of the courage and dedication exhibited by those who served their country during times of war. The Parade of 308th stands as a testament to the valor and sacrifice displayed by these soldiers as they embarked on their duty to defend freedom and democracy.
