They Stood For Liberty At Camp Dodge In 1918

Posted on July 18th, 2009 by Carol

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

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. Please click on the links for the full story!

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!

This is a beautiful picture.

Is there any way to find out the names of the service men who participated?

A friends’ father was stationed there in 1918 and mine may have been.

@ Caro – l I don’t know that the names of the men were even noted. If you want to find out more on anyone’s military record you might want to check the National Personnel Records Center online. You can get military records for free if they are available. Some WWI records might have been lost though.
