EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for American soldiers of the Signal Corps detachment of the 102nd Infantry, 26th Division, during the heat of the Battle of Chateau-Thierry in northern France on July 19, 1918. Amidst the chaos and destruction of the First World War, these soldiers take cover from the elements as they prepare to lay communication wires to connect their commanders with the front lines. The 26th "Blue and Gray" Division, a National Guard unit from the United States, played a pivotal role in halting the German advance towards Paris during this critical battle. The soldiers, dressed in their olive drab uniforms and armed with their equipment, are focused on their mission despite the challenging conditions. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men during the Great War, as they worked tirelessly to maintain communication lines and support their comrades on the battlefield.
