World War 1 Soldier Pictures?

luca.angeli Sep 16, 2016 11:34 AM

Hello,

Starting from the assumption that every soldier had a picture taken during training I am trying to find some of these holdings. These may have been kept in the archives of the Depot Brigades Camps, or donated to libraries or newspapers (the Boston Globe has some), or transferred to archives or simply lost. I would really appreciate someone's help in this. I live in the Chicago area.

Your question is pretty broad. Are you looking for one person in particular, or something broader?

  I am trying to find the holdings and then cross them with a database of soldiers I am investigating. It is very rare to find ww1 soldiers pictures, so far I have found something in California (digitized by Ancestry) and in Masachussets (Boston Globe digitized by the State Library). I am trying to find more.

I work in the California History Room at the Madera Library and I have several World War I photos, all of them are of local Indians who served. I also have a correspondence file of one of the soldiers who communicated with his mother during the time he served. On our website; www. californiahistoryroommadera.org, one or two of the photos is included in the Native American Collection, the rest I have on my computer that I need to upload to our site, but can share them with you via e-mail?
