EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of life at the Y.M.C.A. in Fort Sheridan, Illinois during World War I. The image showcases the YMCA structures that once stood proudly on this army base, now transformed into a residential neighborhood encompassing Lake Forest, Highwood, and Highland Park.
The photograph exudes a sense of history and nostalgia as it transports us back to the early 20th century when young men were preparing for battle. The soldiers depicted in the image are seen seeking shelter behind sandbags, a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of warfare.
George Graham Bain, renowned for his press photography during this era, skillfully captured this moment in time with precision and artistry. His work serves as a visual record of American military history and the important role played by organizations like the Y.M.C.A. in supporting our armed forces.
As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers who fought for our country during one of its most tumultuous periods. It is a testament to their courage and resilience in the face of adversity.
Let us honor their memory and never forget their service as we reflect on this remarkable piece of historical documentation from Bain News Service.
