Military photographs from the collection of Radford’s Harvey-Howe-Carper Post 30 of the American Legion
There will be an opening reception Sunday, October 25, from 1 to 2:30 pm.
The images span from 1909 through the late 1940s, with the vast majority of the images showing life for Radford’s Company M of the National Guard during the years right before the country’s entry into World War I. These images show life for these men from military drills and training to everyday activities like kitchen duty and even just candid moments.
These images offer a direct, unfiltered look into a defining chapter of Radford’s history. “Preserving and sharing these physical artifacts from the American Legion helps bridge more than a century of time,” says Gallery Coordinator Jean Rempfer. “They allow today’s audiences to reflect on the human experience of being called to serve their country,” she adds.
Contained within the images are many unidentified faces. The Glencoe Mansion and the American Legion invite the community to come experience the images and, if possible, help to identify more of the men in the photographs.
