Photos of this set are almost all labelled "US OFFICIAL", indicating that the U.S. Signal Corps is the most likely origin. Photo is extremely rare. Professionally packaged in a rigid mailer for safe delivery.Photo OverviewTwo military officers are captured in a handshake during what appears to be World War I. One officer is in a typical military uniform with a helmet, while the other wears a trench coat and cap. The setting seems to be a military encampment or command post, possibly indicative of camaraderie or alliance between different units within the US Armed Forces. The detail and attire suggest a scene likely located in Europe during the American Expeditionary Forces deployment.The American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) played a crucial role in World War I, involving significant military leadership and strategic operations. The AEF under General John J. Pershing's command contributed to the Allied victory by reinforcing freedom and democracy. Scenes like these highlight the collaboration and mutual respect among officers that were vital for successful missions.Text Present5 34937 = art Condition: Good to fair vintage condition.
