Description: An original 8x6.5" vintage photo from a large collection of American Expeditionary Force (AEF) photos we acquired from the estate of a collector. Photos of this set are almost all labelled "US OFFICIAL", indicating that the U.S. Signal Corps is the most likely origin. Photo is extremely rare. Professionally packaged in a rigid mailer for safe delivery.Photo OverviewThis photograph displays a street scene in a European town during World War I. The image captures a muddy road lined with brick buildings, one marked with a Red Cross sign, indicating its use for medical purposes. A military ambulance is parked nearby, and soldiers in AEF uniforms are visible. The image conveys a sense of wartime operations in a small town, possibly in France, given the architecture and setting.The presence of the Red Cross indicates the involvement of medical teams during World War I. The American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) played critical roles in various battles, contributing to the eventual Allied victory. These forces participated extensively on the Western Front, indicating this town was part of the areas impacted by the war's extensive campaigns.Text PresentFront, bottom-right: ```U.S. OFFICIAL```Back, center-left: ```28631```Back, center-right: ```2618 262```Back, below central text: ```Red Cross```Condition: Good to fair vintage condition.
