caption 1: Soda-water fountain, 1918
style, in Mesopotamia. To
keep the troops happy,
the regimental factory
worked overtime provid-
ing daily rations of two
sodas for every man
caption 2: No, they are not hunting ‘possum. These
dusky experts and their white comrade are
busy getting out building material for
soldiers’ huts or the makings for bridges
caption 3:Private Kalisch enlisted
to fight; but when the sur-
geons at Camp Sherman
found he was a sculptor,
they set him at work mak-
ing models of unusual mal-
formations discovered in ex-
amining thousands of men
caption 4: Looks like a job entirely removed from
war's alarms—and it is. But you can't
keep men up to fighting pitch without
feeding their minds as well as their
bodies, and the movies are the mental
beans of the army. So we present these
gentlemen whose war-time job it was to
censor film instead of cartridges, and
to make up a program calculated to
appeal to the man just out of the trenches
caption 5: Under the spreading shrapnel shower the army smithy stands. All, including Dobbin,
look peaceful enough, but there's a real battle element in shoeing an army mule
caption 6: ‘The cavalry got its chance in the war’s last days; but
what's cavalry but horses, and where would the horses
have been were it not for these “wranglers” from our
‘West, who can gentle a “bad hoss” and keep him fit?
caption 7: Soldier metal-work-
ers made tin Huns
to teach the young
infantryman how to
shoot. If you think
their time was wast-
ed, apply for particu-
lars to W. Hohenzol-
lern, general delivery
caption 8:
The “dashing messenger”
of modern war is quite
likely to be a meek-look-
ing pigeon whose passion
for home is relied upon to
deliver the goods. These
pigeons were the especial
care of the signal corps
caption 9: ‘The engineers often work under fire, and, while they sometimes get into the fight, they are usually otherwise
occupied. Here they are at work with a portable machine-shop equipped to tackle any man-sized job
