Soldiers marching through the streets of Indianapolis in 1918 make this one a record of a wartime homecoming-style procession rather than a generic street scene. The United States was in the final months of its involvement in the First World War that year, and parades like this one were a common way for cities to rally support for the war effort, honor enlisted men, and send off recruits and draftees. Indianapolis, the state capital of Indiana, was a busy rail and manufacturing hub, and its civic parades drew large crowds of residents, many of them families with relatives in uniform. The photograph is worth a close look at the faces and the spacing of the formation, which show how such processions were organized.
