Back Page - World War One Snapshots


Here's a collection of snapshots from World War One,
the "war to end all wars..."

“… my guess is they are troops from Honduras or Nicaragua where the US had military action in the 1920's. In Latin America, their police dress like soldiers so they might not even be soldiers.”

This one seems historical. Can you identify anyone in this picture?

This seems historical.

Solved!
From Catbrusher on Flickr:
Right now my best guess is Jane Delano:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Delano

www.e-anca.org/bios/Delano.htm

"In 1898, during the Spanish-American War, Jane Delano became a member of the New York Chapter of the American Red Cross and served as the secretary for the enrollment of nurses. In 1902 she returned to Bellevue Hospital in New York City as the director of the Training School for Nurses where she remained until 1909 when she was made Superintendent of the United States Army Nurse Corps. During this time, her invaluable contributions to her profession resulted in her being named president of the American Nurses Association and chair of the National Committee of the Red Cross Nursing Service."

The man is Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War from 1916 to 1921.

THE KIDS Lesson one. It is always a mystery how a photograph of any of these precious children could end up lost or abandoned. Here are a few. You will probably say "Ooh..." at least once.
