This print captures a significant moment in American history - the first conscription system for World War I at Camp Admiral, Maryland in 1917. Now known as Fort Meade, this historic camp served as a training ground for countless brave soldiers who would go on to fight in the Great War. In this monochromatic image, we see a vast outdoor scene filled with many men dressed in military uniforms. The soldiers are gathered around trains that were used for transportation during this time period. The composition of the photograph emphasizes the sheer number of individuals involved in this monumental event. The photo exudes an air of nostalgia, taking us back to an era where draft and enlistment played crucial roles in shaping nations' destinies. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these men who answered their country's call to duty. Preserved by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this vintage print offers us a glimpse into America's past and allows us to reflect upon our shared history. As we observe these soldiers standing tall amidst their surroundings, it is impossible not to feel moved by their courage and determination. This powerful image stands as a testament to the resilience and unity displayed by those who fought during World War I, leaving an indelible mark on both American society and global history.
