A single French soldier in service uniform is the subject here, with no place, date, or name recorded for the figure. The title comes from caption cards and negative sleeves that the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency founded by George Grantham Bain, used to label its pictures, and the library notes that the wording is unverified. Bain's agency distributed news photographs in the early twentieth century, and its glass plates document many events and people from that period. Glass negatives like this one were the standard working format for press photography of the time, so the image is useful for studying how news pictures were made and captioned.
