Title
World War I troops, June, 1918; Oskaloosa, Iowa; Mahaska County
Description
This is a picture of the men who participated in World War I and was taken in June, 1918. It is not clear if the men pictured here already had served in the war or if they were about to be sent overseas to fight Germany and the Ottoman Empire. The reason why this is not known is because the United States was already involved in the war for over a year at this point and the war did not end until November, 1918.
