Camp Meade, Maryland - Winter Views, 1917: A Chilling Scene of Soldiers at Play This evocative photograph, titled 'Camp Meade, Maryland - Winter Views, 1917,' captures a moment in time during the First World War when the harsh winter conditions at the military camp did not deter the spirits of the soldiers. Taken by renowned photographers George W. Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio, this image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the American armed forces during the early 20th century. The scene is set at Fort Meade, Maryland, where the snow-covered landscape blankets the camp's exterior. Soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen engaged in a lively snowball fight, their laughter and camaraderie evident in their expressions. The playful scene contrasts with the stark, wintry surroundings, as the barren trees and frozen ground serve as a reminder of the season's chill. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, showcases the everyday fashion of the era. The soldiers' uniforms, with their high collars, thick coats, and woolen hats, were designed to protect them from the harsh winter conditions. The women in the background, dressed in long, layered skirts and heavy coats, are also seen bundled up against the cold. This image offers a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find joy and connection, even in the most challenging circumstances. The soldiers' playful antics serve as a testament to their resilience and the camaraderie that sustained them during their time at Camp Meade.
