Title

WWI U.S. Soldiers at Camp Mills, Long Island, New York

Description

Sepia-toned image of five men in World War I uniforms, standing grouped together outside a tent at Camp Mills, on Long Island, New York, an embarkation point for United States soldiers in World War I. There is a stovepipe coming out of the top of the tent, and none of the men appear to have their weapons with them. The 41st Infantry Regiment was composed primarily of recruits from the Pacific Northwest. Camp Mills itself was a tent city set up specifically to mobilize the troops who were being sent to Europe. Clif Bagley was born in Hillsboro, Oregon, and his father was an attorney and eventually a circuit court judge.
