Group going off to WW1 in Lebanon, Pa

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Such a positive group of healthy young men, cheerful, bold, and brave, with such a violent and sad future immediately ahead of them, for most of them. The suffering of such men in WW1 cannot be adequately appreciated, I would imagine.

Would be very informative if there was a corresponding photo of the 1st card marked with survivors.

Heading off to fight the war to end all wars...it just didn't work out that way.

That first photo of the men on the courthouse(?) steps is dated 8-27-18; I suspect that they saw little, or more likely, no action, there was only about 10 weeks of the Great War left by that time. Especially as it took more than a week just to get to Europe after four or more weeks of boot camp, processing, other training (infantry, armor, etc).

They did not know that then......and maybe they were lucky.

The Lutheran Seminary at Gettysburg in 1903:



Photographed by Detroit Publishing Company some forty years after the battle, still looks pretty desolate.
