EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1919, we see Corporal Fred McIntyre of the 369th Infantry proudly displaying his lucky picture of the German Kaiser. As an African American soldier serving in World War I, McIntyre's journey was undoubtedly filled with challenges and triumphs. Dressed in his military coat, McIntyre stands tall and confident, representing the resilience and determination of black soldiers during a time when they faced discrimination both on and off the battlefield. The sepia tones add a sense of nostalgia to this portrait, reminding us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals like McIntyre. The significance of his lucky picture cannot be understated. It symbolizes not only his personal luck but also serves as a reminder that even amidst war, humanity can find moments of hope and connection. This small memento likely provided comfort to McIntyre during difficult times, offering him strength as he fought for freedom alongside his fellow troops. As he returns home on board the SS Stockholm, one can only imagine the mix of emotions running through Corporal Fred McIntyre's mind. He carries with him not just memories but also pride in serving his country despite facing adversity due to racial prejudice. This powerful photograph captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to bravery, perseverance, and unity within America's diverse military forces during World War I.
