| Title | Photograph of American War Recruits before leaving on Train |
| Notes | From my grandmother's collection of old photos. Her uncle went off to France to fight and died of influenza in 1918. This photo shows an American soldier (recruiter?) with his collection of men, all of them about to leave on a train. Most seem like cowboys. They have identification tags pinned to their clothes, and some are holding American flags. |
