This is one of approximately 250 photographs in a small collection of World War I News Photo Service photographic images, all made in 1918.  Photography during WWI was extremely controlled, and many of the images that came to appear in newspapers and magazines were selection from an approved photographic pool of images.

Image, ca. late 1918, 4.5×7″.  Very good condition.  $150
