This is a great image from 1917.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a good word today.
Great picture, I can picture someone sitting down 104 years ago and dating this photo. You have a beautiful collection of old family photos. Thanks for sharing them .
Thanks for making time to look.
My guess is a youth Red Cross formed when WWI started?? dc
Maybe these young people are volunteering. After all it was around the time of WWI.
This is really an interesting photo. I am so curious now. We always enjoy your family photos.
