A rare photograph of encyclopedic and historical value with surprising informality. In an era when most group military portraits of enlisted men feature neat ranks and perfect uniforms, these men show personality. One peers shyly from behind a tree, another holds up a frying pan, a third rests a shovel on his shoulder. A whiskey flask makes its rounds while three other men brandish weapons--a real Old West flourish. Another fellow stretches on the ground and rests his eyelids.

Strong Support Immense historical value and high quality for the period. I love the attitude of the guy with the pipe and shovel. These men look badass. --160.79.219.133 (talk) 14:30, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
