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.

@ 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.

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.
That’s the best patriotic picture ever!
