Few details survive for this picture beyond its label, "22d Engineers, N.Y.," which the Bain News Service recorded on the glass negative or its caption card. Army engineer regiments of the First World War built and repaired roads, railways, bridges and camps, work that kept troops and supplies moving behind the front. The record gives no date, and the title comes from the agency's own notes, so it has not been independently verified. Glass negatives like this one hold fine detail, which makes them useful for studying uniforms, equipment and the look of wartime military life.
