*New* WWI Yankee Division Portrait Photos – 101st Field Artillery and 101st Engineers
A nice selection of Yankee Division portrait photos to add to my growing collection! An incredible set of three photos of a 101st Field Artillery doughboy wearing his helmet with painted unit insignia as well as his town medals and victory ribbon with multiple clasps. Also included is a shot of an engineer officer with the division.
WWI Portrait Photo Postcard – Helmeted Doughboy Poses for Camera
Finding nice portraits of doughboys posing in studio is becoming harder and harder given the scarcity and high prices on eBay. This is one of the better examples in my collection, and although it doesn’t have a unit designation associated with it, I felt that it would go well with my current theme of WWI RPPCs postings on PortraitsofWar. Enjoy!
WWI Doughboy RPPC Photo – Amazing 90 Pound Full Pack
A recent acquisition and possibly one of my best. Finding studio photos of doughboys wearing full kits is nearly impossible, let alone one where the subject is fully turned around. Add the crisp detail and interesting caption, and this becomes a spectacular example.
