Camp Meade #2, Maryland, 1917: A Snapshot of Army Life during the First World War This evocative photograph, titled "Camp Meade #2, Maryland, 1917," captures a moment in time during America's involvement in the First World War. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of soldiers at the Camp Meade army base in Maryland. The photograph shows a group of men in military uniforms, standing along a dirt road, as a freight train passes in the background. The train, laden with goods and supplies, would have been a common sight at the camp, as it transported essential resources to support the growing army presence. The soldiers, dressed in their military apparel, display a range of expressions, from serious to playful, reflecting the diverse personalities within the ranks. Their uniforms, with their crisp creases and polished buttons, speak to the discipline and order that characterized army life during this period. The scene is set against the backdrop of a simple, wooden building, which may have served as a barracks or administrative office. The rough, unpaved road, lined with trees, adds to the rustic, outdoor atmosphere of the camp. This photograph, part of the extensive Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the American soldiers during the First World War. The image invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the rich history that continues to shape our world today.
