EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the momentous arrival of American troops in Europe during World War I. Circa 1917, the United States, previously neutral in the conflict, had entered the war on the side of the Allies. The image shows a large number of American soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their gear, lined up on the quay of a European harbor. The soldiers, with determined expressions on their faces, are preparing to disembark from the transport ship anchored in the background. The boarding plank is lowered, signaling the beginning of their journey from the safety of the ship to the uncertain terrain of the war-torn continent. The American flag flies proudly atop the ship, a symbol of their national pride and commitment to the cause. The coastal waters shimmer in the distance, and the quay is bustling with activity as local officials and military personnel assist the disembarking soldiers. This poignant photograph captures the spirit of the American Expeditionary Force as they embarked on their mission to make a difference in the Great War, marking a turning point in the conflict and leaving an indelible mark on history.
