EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Army, U.S. Physical Examination, 1917," captures the intense and thorough process of a military recruit's examination during the First World War. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image portrays a doctor in uniform, intently examining a recruit's bare feet and checking his heartbeat with a stethoscope. The recruit, dressed in a simple tunic and trousers, wears a serious expression as he undergoes the scrutiny. The scene is set in an open-air location, with a wooden carriage boot in the foreground, suggesting the recruit's upcoming training in horse riding. The doctor, identified as Martha Kuntze, and the recruit, likely George W. Harris, were both part of the vast mobilization effort that saw millions of American men join the armed forces during this period. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rigorous physical and health assessments that were essential for the selection and preparation of soldiers for the battlefield. The image, part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a significant historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past and the sacrifices made during the 20th century's first global conflict.
