EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in American history - the departure of soldiers from Fort Slocum in 1917 during World War I. The image shows a group of American soldiers on a boat, leaving the military post located on Davids' Island in New Rochelle, New York. Fort Slocum served as a crucial recruiting station during the war, symbolizing the bravery and sacrifice of those who answered their country's call to serve.
The men in the photograph are seen gesturing towards the shore, perhaps bidding farewell to loved ones or simply taking one last look at familiar surroundings before heading off to unknown destinations. Their expressions convey determination and resolve, embodying the spirit of duty and patriotism that defined this tumultuous period in history.
As we gaze upon this historic snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the countless sacrifices made by these brave individuals who fought for our freedom and security.
