They Stood For Liberty At Camp Dodge In 1918

Posted on January 9th, 2008 by webduck

This is just an amazing photo that was sent to me today by my sister-in-law . It is very possible that my own grandpa, Will Yates, could be in the photo too as he was stationed at Camp Dodge, Iowa during WWI. I made sure it was a real photo and not something "Photoshopped" by checking it on Snopes. It is real, and you can see even more photos like this on the Carl Hammer Gallery page. There is also a wonderful page you should visit that explains more about the photo here too. I know this is suppose to be "wordless", but it is an amazing photo.

It’s very clever, I have a feeling I might have come across this while stumbling as well. It would be cool if he was in it!
