(FORUM ADMIN NOTE: WE HAVE COMBINED TWO THREADS INTO ONE SO THERE MAY BE SOME REDUNDANCY) This is INCREDIBLE ! The picture was taken in 1918. It is 18,000 men preparing for war in a training camp at Camp Dodge in Iowa. A gift from our grandfathers. ..   Regards, Ricardo.

QUOTE(cmjordan77 @ Jan 9 2008, 04:11 PM)  Has anyone came across this picture before? You're not going to believe this, but I saw this exact postcard in an antique shop in Richmons, Virginia, this afternoon. I noticed it because it is so distinctive. Bill
