Conflict Crowds Departure Entering Leaving Lining Marching Parade Parading Prior
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of patriotism and determination as American troops march through the streets of New York City in 1917, prior to their departure for the battlefields of France during World War I. Known as "doughboys," these brave soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, proudly wave to the cheering crowds lining the streets. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation, as the United States was entering the conflict and joining the Allied Powers in the ongoing struggle against the Central Powers. The parade served as a poignant farewell for families and loved ones, who watched with a mix of pride and trepidation as their loved ones set off to face the unknown dangers of the battlefield. This historical image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the American military during World War I and the unwavering support of the American people during a time of great upheaval and change.
