WWI Photos – 1st Engineers Company D

WWI Photos – 1st Engineers Company D

From a collection of what I believe are 4×6 Autochrome slides, are these photos, of World War I photos. These are obviously copies as mine show the photos tacked to a wall of some sort with standard push pins. I cropped those out to try to get to the “original” photo. Nor have I been able to find the original photos posted anywhere else on the Internet.

Luckily, most of the photos are labeled so we have a good idea of what the subjects are, and we can track the Company through the war and their various campaigns.

More information about the 1st Engineers here and here.

Then there are two photos of the camp in Argonne, showing the incredibly primitive conditions the soldiers lived in. And in November no less. I can not imagine that it was pleasant at all!
