EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1916, American and Canadian troops can be seen intently focused on their training exercises during the First World War. Although the United States officially joined the war in April 1917, an American Legion of 16,000 volunteer troops had already gone into action, fighting alongside their Canadian counterparts as part of the Canadian mobilization. In this moment, the soldiers are seen practicing their combat skills, with one American soldier in the foreground preparing his bayonet for contact with the enemy. The troops are seen handling various weapons, including rifles and bombs, as they prepare for the intense and dangerous battles that lie ahead. The image captures the sense of determination and camaraderie among the troops, as they train together in the harsh conditions of the battlefield. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men during the early days of the First World War, as they answered the call to defend their countries and protect the values they held dear.
