Most without captions, featuring WWI-era soldiers and munitions. Several slides feature trench scenes, including one partially clouded over image showing soldiers wearing gas masks and crouching below the walls of a trench. Other highlights include an Underwood & Underwood slide featuring "Cavalry passing through the great tree - 'California' - Cal;" an A. T. Thompson & Co. slide featuring a "life saving crew" conducting a drill, and an unmarked slide featuring a large group of uniformed female WWI soldiers or members of a medical society. One is a close-up of a pair of hands pulling the ring on a grenade; one shows men stringing telegraph wire. Several show close-ups of weapons suggesting at least some of these may have been used for basic training. Provenance:Marvin Lieber Collection of Early Photographica Condition: Three slides with cracks in glass.
