| Caption | A commerically produced cardboard frame holding a black and white photographic portrait of asoldier. The frame has an intaglio imprint marked "LIBERTY – JUSTICE – TO ALL." A bald eagle with outstretched wings is below the text. There is an oval shaped window with the picture of an unidentified African Amwerican soldier in uniform below the statement and the eagle. The unidentified soldier has only one brass insignia pinned to his collar which means he did not complete his training at the time the photograph was taken. The border around the oval window consists of flowers and the word "VICTORY" at the top and the year "1918" at the bottom. On either side of the photograph is an oval insert of President Woodrow Wilson on the left and General JJ Pershing on the right. Below the photograph is a battle scene that consists of a cannon being fired into the distance with a soldier operating the cannon along with a Red Cross truck and two men carrying another on a stretcher. Date: 1910s. Record ID: nmaahc_2011.155.88. |
