WWI Era Snapshot Photo Group of Doughboy Soldiers on Barracks Steps Campaign Hat

About this piece

An original vintage snapshot of about fifteen young soldiers posed together on and around the wooden steps of a clapboard barracks building. Most wear wool service shirts, a few are in undershirts, and a campaign hat rests in front of the group; the dress and setting appear to be World War I era. About 3.5 x 2.5 inches. Condition: significant damage, with torn and missing corners (especially lower right), edge losses, cracking and creasing through the emulsion, and overall toning.

An unidentified camp photo with strong period character for WWI and doughboy collectors, or a good addition to a military snapshot group.
