Red Cross volunteer lighting a cigarette for an injured sailor, WWII.
21,000 soldiers arranged as a portrait of President Woodrow Wilson, 1918.
Captured on September 5, 1918, at Ohio's Camp Sherman, soldiers of the U.S. Army's 95th Division.
In search of some eye-catching imagery to boost morale surrounding US involvement in WWI, the US military commissioned the English-born photographer Arthur Mole and his assistant John Thomas to make a series of extraordinary group portraits. Between 1915 and 1921, with the dutiful help of thousands of servicemen and staff from various US military camps, the duo produced around thirty of the highly patriotic images, which Mole labelled "living photographs".
