Description: An original 7x5" vintage photo from a large collection of American Expeditionary Force (AEF) photos we acquired from the estate of a collector. Photos of this set are almost all labelled "US OFFICIAL", indicating that the U.S. Signal Corps is the most likely origin. Photo is extremely rare. Professionally packaged in a rigid mailer for safe delivery.Photo OverviewUS soldiers are seen operating a camouflaged artillery piece, likely during World War I. The scene depicts the soldiers in action, surrounded by natural foliage used as camouflage. The location is unspecified, but the setting is indicative of a frontline position, possibly in a trench or concealed outpost, during battle. The use of camouflage in World War I was crucial for concealing the position and strength of military units. Soldiers were trained to blend into their surroundings to avoid detection by enemy forces, greatly influencing modern military tactics and environmental awareness.Text PresentCamoflauge 28308Condition: Good to fair vintage condition. This antique photo is on extremely old, somewhat fragile paper, and likely has age spots, tears, surface flaking, or other age related blemishes. Please see photos for detailed scans of both sides.
