Robert Swanson's photos with the keyword: photo damage

This is an image of the photo I recently saw of the soldiers of the 57th Spruce Squadron. The image is not complete, and you can see the broken glass of the frame, along with some water damage. This kind of damage is unfortunately common in pictures from the 1918 era. (images of Spruce Soldiers are rare) The photo is remarkable in the detail we can see of the soldiers' clothing. They are not in their dress uniforms, but rather in their work clothes. Many Spruce Soldiers wore regular logging clothes, rather than uniforms. The writing indicate that they were at Palix River, Washington, cutting and processing spruce logs. Image lent by a family member.
