EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white postcard captures the stoic determination of three American soldiers, known as Doughboys, at Camp Dodge in Iowa during the First World War. Dressed in their full military regalia, they stand at attention with their 1917 Enfield rifles, a testament to their readiness for combat. The man in the middle is identified as Willner Eugene Sandell, who had emigrated from Sweden to the USA in 1913. The postcard was sent from Sweden in November 1918, just as the war was coming to an end. These soldiers were part of the 352nd Infantry, 88th Division, which saw action in Alsace, France. The sepia tone of the image adds to the nostalgic and historic feel, transporting us back to a time of great sacrifice and bravery. The soldiers' uniforms and weapons are a reminder of the significant role the United States played in the First World War and the sacrifices made by its citizens.
